one method of sorting is as follows:

use ram of 256 depth.

use your data as address and rd/wr from that location after one increment. So for example if data is 7, read data7(0) add 1 and write back(1)

continue in this manner then read back your ram contents which could be something like this:

0 : 2

1: 0

2: 5

3: 1

...etc
