Your code will work only when the array coins will be sorted otherwise, it may not give the correct answer. Check output when:
coins[]= {3,1,5}
and sum=3
When the coins array is sorted, you’ll always get minimum value for increasing values of j, but when it is unsorted, ex, in the case above, we get minimum number of coins for n=3 when j=0, but your solution will give answer as 3 as you are not finding the minimum. So, do this little modification.
Hope it clears…

dp[i]=max; and max==1000(why 1000) //can you explain why you did this… rest all is clear
I just selected some maximum value lets say 1000. For finding minimum you need to assume that the possible answer is some value max, you can take any other value as the maximum.
