sorter in vhdl

--- Quote Start ---

hi kaz

i want first to thank you very much i have finished the part of authentication mode i would not finish it without you help .

now if i have two input first for codes std_logic_vector ( 0 to 7)

and the second for its time which is in integer type ,such as

00000001 ------> 125 ms

00010010 ------> 100 ms

01000100 ------> 200 ms

01111000 ------> 147 ms

and i want to sort them as the following

00010010 ------> 100 ms

00000001 ------> 125 ms

01111000 ------> 147 ms

01000100 ------> 200 ms

so, i want to sort the second input in ascending order and the corresponding firt input data to it

i hope to understand me and help me to start that code.

sorry for bad english

use same principle as above(using counters per ram location) but with some modification:

have a ram 256 depth, 10 bits wide.

use ms value as address

for each address read data, increment it by 1, write the corresponding code into 8 msbs of ram data and increment value into two lsbs of ram data.

at the end you will have your ram ready sorted in ascending order of address. The value of ms is the address, the 8 bits content is your corresponding code. the two lsbs are counter for how many times same value occured. if necessary use > 2 bits for counting.
