PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a screen showing each unit information easier to remember in the case that unit information indicating, in document list information, a document that receives many times of reference or the like is displayed close to the front of the document list information. SOLUTION: If prohibition of sort crossing over a boundary position is selected (Yes at S11), the sort is not performed, if a sort is unconditionally selected (Yes at S12), replacement with the preceding document is performed (S13), if a sort not taking into account of the boundary position is selected (Yes at S13), the number of times of reference for a preceding document and a current document are compared (S17) and if the number of times of reference for the current document is larger (Yes at S18), replacement with the preceding document is performed (S15), otherwise, if a processing of weighting the sort crossing over the boundary position is selected (Yes at S14), the number of times of reference for the referred document is multiplied by a constantα, and the result value is compared with the number of times of reference for the preceding document (S16), and if the number of times of reference for the referred document is larger (Yes at S18), the document is replaced with the preceding document (S15).
