The table given below describes different fields present on properties of Sorting.

Field	Description	Remark
Run	It allows you to run the node.	-
Explore	It allows you to explore the successfully executed node.	-
Vertical Ellipses	The available options are Run till node Run from node Publish as a model Publish code	-
Task Name	It displays the name of the selected task.	You can click the text field to edit or modify the name of the task as required.

Interpretation from Sorting

The orders in which the data can be sorted are shown below. The selected numerical data can be sorted in ascending or descending order. To change the sorting order, hover over the selected feature and click the gear icon.

Then, select one of the options from Ascending and Descending.

The table given below describes the results for sorting.

Sorting	Result	Remark
Ascending	It arranges the given data in ascending (increasing) order of values.	The sorting order is selected as ascending by default.
Descending	It arranges the given data in descending (decreasing) order of values.	—

Example of Sorting

In the example given below, the social indicators from the United Nations Social Statistics data are sorted either in the ascending or the descending orders. It displays the variables along with the order of sorting. Only the GDPperCapita data has been sorted in the descending order.
The figure given below displays the input data which is not sorted.

After using the Sorting algorithm, the following result is displayed. We choose the GDPperCapita column to be sorted in the descending order.

The figure given below displays the output data obtained by sorting. Only the GDPperCapita data is seen to be arranged in the descending order.
