I need to sort an array on an FPGA. Labview. In LabVIEW 2020 (32-bit) "array >> sort 1S array" is not an option when coding on an FPGA target. However, if I look at the LabVIEW NGX 5.0 manual, I see that "Sort 1D Array (G Dataflow)" says it can work on all FPGA devices, but "only within an optimized FPGA VI". The link and figure below are for reference.
https://www.ni.com/documentation/en/labview/5.0/node-ref/sort-1d-array/
My questions are:
On a side note, I know that I could code a sort algorithm from scratch, but I would like to learn if NGX can simply do this natively.
All the best,
Austin

After contacting tech support, I learned this is a mistake in the documentation. There is no native sort code build into LabVIEW 2020 (or any other including NGX) for the FPGA.
