it is suppose to compare the first digit in each line, in this case 0 and 1 and
output them in accending order to the sort_data file.
The problem I have is that the sort data file for some reason can not be
created, could you please tell look over the program tell me if it does what it
is suppose to, and how I can force the program to create the file.

You apparently forgot the "following" short program

As a bare minimum, put
perror("");
after the failing file create. Found in <stdio.h>
