ABSTRACT:
A sorting apparatus comprises a data memory for storing a plurality of data, each of the data comprising reference data indicating a predetermined reference level, a sorting memory for writing therein data based on the plurality of data and a control unit for sorting the plurality of data in sequence of the reference levels of the plurality of data. The control unit also writes data to the sorting memory so that addresses of the plurality of data are obtained in the sequence of the reference levels of the plurality of data by tracing data written in the sorting memory by repeated reading of data in the sorting memory by a unit in which each data has information about a respective address of a next data to be read.
