Okay I don't know any vb much less dot net, but if you think about the algorithm you should be able to formalize the code. If A is greater than B, then if C is greater than A you've sorted the number properly right? The else cases just do a few more comparisons to determine alternate orders. In psuedo-code

if ( a > b )
{
     if ( c > a )
     {
	  return c a b;
     }
     else
     {
	  if ( c > b )
	  {
	       return a c b;
	  }
	  else
	  {
	       return a b c;
	  }
     }
}
else
{
     if ( c > b )
     {
	  return c b a;
     }
     else
     {
	  if ( c > a )
	  {
	       return b c a;
	  }
	  else
	  {
	       return b a c;
	  }
     }
}

Let me reinforce that this isn't legal vb code (I don't think) but it should illustrate the algorithm.
