14.10 FNC 69 – SORT / SORT Tabulated Data
Outline
This instruction sorts a data table consisting of data (lines) and group data (columns) based on a specified group data
(column) sorted by line in ascending order. This instruction stores the group data (columns) in serial devices.
On the other hand, SORT2 (FNC149) instruction stores the data (lines) in serial devices facilitating the addition of data

In the data table (sorting source) having (m1 × m2) points from , data lines are sorted in the ascending order
based on the group data in the column No. "n", and the result is stored in the data table (sorting result) having (m1 ×
m2) points from .
