Grouping a number of objects together is called sorting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"8-ascending-and-descending-order\">Ascending and Descending Order<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">We can sort the numbers in ascending or descending order. Ascending order means to sort the numbers from smallest to greatest. Descending order means to sort the numbers from greatest to smallest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Let us take an example of four friends: Sophie with 157 cm height, Charlie with 162 cm height, Jacob with 143 cm and Mark with 139 cm height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">On sorting the heights in ascending order, we get: $139$ cm $\\lt 143$ cm $\\lt 157$ cm $\\lt 162$ cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">On sorting the heights in descending order, we get $162$ cm $\\gt 157$ cm $\\gt 143$ cm $\\gt 139$ cm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"9-sorting-numbers-by-number-of-digits\">Sorting Numbers by Number of Digits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">We can also sort the numbers on the basis of the number of digits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Single-digit numbers are $0 \u200b\u200b\u2212 9$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Double-digit Numbers are $10 \u2212 99$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Three-digit Numbers are $100 \u2212 999$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"10-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we learned about sorting.
