Sorting Records

Sorting Records

What is it?

Ascending and descending sorts change display order, not stored meaning, and multiple fields create primary and secondary order.

In simple words

• Ascending and descending sorts change display order, not stored meaning, and multiple fields create primary and secondary order.
• Working method: first identify the input or starting state for sorting records; then apply the rule or process in a clear order; finally inspect the output, test an edge case, and explain any limitation.
• Example: apply sorting records to a small school, home, or software problem and trace the result.
