<p>The current methods and systems sort three-dimensional data with a reduced number of buffer memories at an increased speed. Based upon the Z-dimension data, the three-dimensional data is sorted in ascending order via two intermediate tables. Since a first intermediate table holds only one set of unique Z values, when there is a recurrence of Z values, a second intermediate table holds these multiply occurring data. At the end, the contents of these intermediate tables are merged into a single result holding table.</p> |
