Sorting 16-bit data
SORTTBL(_U)
These instructions sort data lines in the data table (sorting source) having ((m1)

(m2)) points specified by (s) in the ascending
order based on the group data in the column number (n), and store the result in the data table (sorting result) having
((m1)

(m2)) points specified by (d).

Processing details
• These instructions sort data lines in the data table (sorting source) having ((m1)

(m2)) points specified by (s) in the
ascending order based on the group data in the column number (n), and store the result in the data table (sorting result)
having (m1

m2) points specified by (d).
• The data table configuration is explained in an example in which the sorting source data table has 3 lines and 4 columns
(m1 = K3, m2 = K4). For the sorting result data table, understand (s) as (d).
• When the command input turns on, data sorting is started. Data sorting is completed after (m1) scans, and the instruction
execution complete flag SM8029 is set to on.
