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 (lines), and sorts a table in either ascending or descending order.
