Multiple key self-sorting table

摘要

The table has intelligent self-sorting modules, each including an entry value. Each module holds its current value and stores a new entry. Each module has a controller (16) that calculates a result of whether or not an entry to be added or subtracted has a higher/lower value than the entry stored in storage. Each controller makes a decision to take an entry from an adjacent module with a higher/lower value based on the result. An independent claim is also included for a method of sorting a multi key self-sorting table.
