FNC149 – SORT2 / Sort Tabulated Data 2
Outline
This instruction sorts a data table consisting of data (lines) and group data (columns) based on a specified
group data (column) in units of line in the ascending or descending order. This instruction stores the data
(lines) in serial devices for facilitating the addition of data (lines).
On the other hand, the SORT (FNC 69) instruction stores the group data (columns) in serial devices, and
sorts a table in only the descending order.
→
For SORT (FNC 69) instruction, refer to Section 14.10.

Explanation of function and operation
1. 16-bit operation (SORT2)
In the data table (sorting source) having (m1 x m2) points from
, data lines are sorted in the ascending
or descending order based on the group data in the column No. "n", and the result is stored in the data table
(sorting result) having (m1 x m2) points from
.
