SORT without Itab name after sort will sort field groups declared using INSERT in that program.

Hi Prem,

SORT ITAB

This statement sorts an internal table itab. As standard, numeric and byte-type components are sorted according to their value and character-type by their binary representation (Code Page) For text-based sorting of character-type components, you can use the addition AS TEXT.

Press F1 on SORT keyword you will get the complete information on that.
