# SORTQQ

Portability Subroutine: Sorts a one-dimensional array. The array elements cannot be derived types or record structures.

## Module

USE IFPORT

CALL SORTQQ (adrarray,count,size)

adrarray | (Input) INTEGER(4) on IA-32 architecture; INTEGER(8) on Intel® 64 architecture. Address of the array (returned by LOC).
count | (Input; output) INTEGER(4) on IA-32 architecture; INTEGER(8) on Intel® 64 architecture. On input, number of elements in the array to be sorted. On output, number of elements actually sorted. To be certain that SORTQQ is successful, compare the value returned in count to the value you provided. If they are the same, then SORTQQ sorted the correct number of elements.
size | (Input) INTEGER(4). Positive constant less than 32,767 that specifies the kind of array to be sorted. The following constants, defined in `IFPORT.F90`, specify type and kind for numeric arrays:
Constant | Type of array
--- | ---
SRT$INTEGER1 | INTEGER(1)
SRT$INTEGER2 | INTEGER(2) or equivalent
SRT$INTEGER4 | INTEGER(4) or equivalent
SRT$INTEGER8 | INTEGER(8) or equivalent
SRT$REAL4 | REAL(4) or equivalent
SRT$REAL8 | REAL(8) or equivalent
SRT$REAL16 | REAL(16) or equivalent

If the value provided in size is not a symbolic constant and is less than 32,767, the array is assumed to be a character array with size characters per element.

### CAUTION

The location of the array must be passed by address using the LOC function. This defeats Fortran type-checking, so you must make certain that the count and size arguments are correct.

If you pass invalid arguments, SORTQQ attempts to sort random parts of memory. If the memory it attempts to sort is allocated to the current process, that memory is sorted; otherwise, the operating system intervenes, the program is halted, and you get a General Protection Violation message.

## Example

     !    Sort a 1-D array
     ! USE IFPORT
     INTEGER(2) array(10)
     INTEGER(2) i DATA ARRAY /143, 99, 612, 61, 712, 9112, 6, 555, 2223, 67/
     !    Sort the array
     Call SORTQQ (LOC(array), 10, SRT$INTEGER2)
     !    Display the sorted array
     DO i = 1, 10
       WRITE (*, 9000) i, array (i) 9000 FORMAT(1X, ' Array(',I2, '): ', I5)
     END DO
     END
