Sorting is actually a procedure of placing the data in some order or we can say that the sorting is a way of organizing something like data in some specific manner. This ordering makes this possible or easy to search a specific data element from sorted elements. In computer science sorting is very much important. As efficiency is a major concern of computing, thus data is sorted in order to gain the efficiency in retrieving or searching tasks.
In any database management system sorting plays a big role. All the data in a database, is stored in a sorted and compact form by a database management system.
