Abstract:
A method for sorting windows, which appear on the same line in a display, the method compromising:providing a plurality of windows to be sorted by their starting positions; selecting a first window from a plurality of windows; comparing the starting position of the first window with the starting position of each other window in the plurality of windows; assigning a value to each comparison, whereby the value assigned to the comparison is a first value if the starting position of the compared window is greater than the starting position of the first window, and the value assigned to the comparison is a second value, if the starting position of the first window is less than the starting position of the chosen window; adding the values of all the comparisons with a chosen window to form a comparison sum; and using the comparison sum as an index to sort the windows relative to each other window, to which it was compared.
