好的，根据您的需求，我为您设计了一个小型的学生管理系统，使用C语言实现对信息的输入、输出、插入、删除、修改、查找和排序等基本功能，并使用文件作为信息的外部存储形式。以下是程序的代码实现：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define MAX_STUDENT 100

typedef struct {
    int id;
    char name[20];
    int age;
    char gender[10];
} Student;

typedef struct {
    Student students[MAX_STUDENT];
    int count;
} StudentManagementSystem;

void load_students(StudentManagementSystem *sms) {
    FILE *fp = fopen("students.dat", "rb");
    if (fp != NULL) {
        fread(&(sms->count), sizeof(int), 1, fp);
        fread(sms->students, sizeof(Student), sms->count, fp);
        fclose(fp);
    }
}

void save_students(StudentManagementSystem *sms) {
    FILE *fp = fopen("students.dat", "wb");
    if (fp != NULL) {
        fwrite(&(sms->count), sizeof(int), 1, fp);
        fwrite(sms->students, sizeof(Student), sms->count, fp);
        fclose(fp);
    }
}

    sms->students[sms->count].age = age;
    strcpy(sms->students[sms->count].gender, gender);
    sms->count++;
    printf("Add student successfully!\n");
    save_students(sms);
}

    scanf("%s", key);

void print_students(StudentManagementSystem *sms) {

                break;
        }
    }
}

该程序使用了两个结构体，分别为 `Student` 和 `StudentManagementSystem`。`Student` 结构体表示学生信息，包括学生 ID、姓名、年龄和性别。`StudentManagementSystem` 结构体表示学生信息管理系统，包括对学生信息的输入、输出、插入、删除、修改、查找和排序等基本功能，以及使用文件作为信息的外部存储形式。

在程序运行过程中，用户可以根据菜单选择对学生信息进行操作。例如，用户可以选择添加学生信息、删除学生信息、修改学生信息、查找学生信息、排序学生信息或打印学生信息。在用户进行操作后，程序会自动将学生信息保存到文件中，以便下次运行程序时读取。
