Databse sorting means arranging the records in a specific way to make reported data more usable.
it helps arrange all records in a table. it is able to deal well with a huge list of items. no additional storage is required.
When you report the content of a data base - (run a query) You may have the option of sorting it in to numeric order, alphabetical order etc - this can make reading the data easier. I.e. the list of sports clubs sorted in to the descending order of points won , this would find the top winner. A telephone list sorted by last name to make it alphabetical
It is the process of arranging a group of selected cells in a row or column numerically or alphabetically, in either ascending or descending order.
In Microsoft Access, table sort order is determined by the settings applied to the fields in the table. You can specify the sort order (ascending or descending) in the query design view or in a datasheet view by clicking on the field header. Additionally, you can create custom sorting by using multiple fields, allowing for a prioritized sort based on your requirements. If no sort order is specified, records will be displayed in the order they were entered.
Searching allows you to find data that meets specific criteria. Sorting allows you to organize that data, based upon the rules you choose (most common is alphabetical).
Paper-based database is a collection of data on paper. There are many disadvantages when using paper-based database, some of the disadvantages are: Difficulty in sorting data, changes are done manually, no security, difficulties in sorting data.

Records are the data that's stored in a database and a query is a command used to display and/or manipulate records (for example, adding/deleting records, displaying records by a search term, sorting records).
Yes, searching and sorting are fifferent things.
Functions of a Database Management System: - Database Definition - Database creation (storing data in a defined database) - Retrieval (query and reporting) - Update(Changing the contents of the database) - Programming User Facilities for system development) - Database revision and restructuring - Database integrity control - Performance Monitoring

A database manages information by filtering to select a smaller set of data., sorting it to put the data in a logical oder or providing summary statistic in reports. In 'MS Access' it is the database table which manages the information. The table uses the database software to produce a set of records, which can then be organised. Hope this helped - YM -
A database is the main type of software that you would use for searching and sorting data. Other applications also have capabilities of doing them like a spreadsheet and even a word processor.
sorting
An advantage of using consecutive numeric records storage is that it allows for efficient data retrieval and processing due to its organized structure. This format minimizes the overhead associated with searching through non-sequential data, as records are stored in a predictable order. Additionally, it can enhance performance during batch processing and sorting operations, leading to faster access times and improved overall system efficiency.
