Hi Suresh

SORT STABLE statement will make the sort stable.Means each time you press the sort button

the sort sequence will not be changed.

Hi Suresh,

In normal SORT sorts every time according to the sort keys.But SORT STABLE sorts only any changes done on the table entries after the last sort otherwise the table sort sequence remain same.
