Abstract
Sort elements, such as queues processed in a network processor, are provided with relative priorities relative to each other. A set of relative priorities is used to specify priority order of the sort elements. The priority order may be specified by addressing code in a jump table. Duplicate code in the jump table having multiple entrance points allows for reduction of the size of the jump table. The relative priorities may be applied to a lookup table, hash or other function in order to address the jump table.
