ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus for forming an ordered sequence of n digital numbers from a randomly arranged set of n digital numbers is shown to be made up of: (a) n registers, each initially holding a different one of the randomly arranged set of n digital numbers; (b) a digital comparator for each adjacent pair of registers to determine whether or not the digital numbers in each adjacent pair of registers are in the ordered sequence and to interchange the digital numbers in any adjacent pair of registers whenever such numbers are not in the ordered sequence; and (c) a switching arrangement, operative in response to each successive one of (2n-1) clock pulses, alternately to switch each digital comparator from the associated adjacent pair of registers to a different selected pair of registers whereby the digital numbers may be shifted through the n registers as required to form the ordered sequence.
