Abstract
This invention is an electronic sorting system that saves computer software and computer time by sorting random data that is stored in selectable locations within a digital computer. The electronic sorting system removes the random data from the digital computer and sorts this data in ascending order by repeatedly comparing the data. The sorted data is then loaded into the computer in other selectable locations within the digital computer.
