Fortran90 SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault

In summary, the conversation is about a project for a numerics class where the person has written a program in FORTRAN 90 to calculate the determinant of a matrix using Laplace. They have added a function to find the row/column with the most zeroes and reorganize the matrix, but when testing with larger matrices, they get a "SIGSEGV" error. The person has tried various solutions but has not been successful and is seeking help. They include the function in their post for reference.

Hi,
I have a project for a class in numerics, where I have to write a program with FORTRAN 90 that calculates the determinant of a matrix using Laplace.
The program itself works now, but I have added a function that finds the row/column with most zeroes and reorganizes the matrix, so that they are in the first column. When I try it with small matrices, it works just fine. However (starting at 4x4) I get the following error:

SIGSEGV:Segmentation fault-invalid memory reference.
Backtrace for this error:
#0 6f6117be
#1 6f695deb
#2 004010f8

I have read pretty much every discussion about this I could find, but either the solutions did not apply to my code or the explanation was too complicated for me to unterstand...This is the first program ever that I wrote, so I am not an expert.

This is the function (whithout this function it works fine, so I gues the problem is somewhere in the function):
Fortran:

            merk=A_getauscht(i,1)
             A_getauscht(i,1)=A_getauscht(i,merk2)
            A_getauscht(i,merk2)=merk
         end do
   
      end function sortieren_Matrix

I would really apprecaite it if someone had ideas what else I could be doing wrong!
Thank you!
