14.10 FNC 69 – SORT / SORT Tabulated Data
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) in units of line in descending 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 for facilitating
addition of data (lines), and sorts a table in the ascending or descending order.

, data lines are sorted in the 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
×
m2) points from
.
