    We're STILL waiting for you to post your attempts, but, since
    several others have already posted solutions, here's mine:

echo "Enter three numbers:"
read n; set x $n; shift
[ $1 -gt $2 ] && { set x $2 $1 $3; shift; }
[ $2 -gt $3 ] && { set x $1 $3 $2; shift; }
[ $1 -gt $2 ] && { set x $2 $1 $3; shift; }
echo $1 $2 $3
