# SORTSZE - Size of Sort Buffer

This Natural profile parameter specifies the amount of storage to be reserved for use by the sort program.

Possible settings | `500 - 2048` | Buffer size in KB.
Default setting | `500` |
Dynamic specification | yes |
Specification within session | no |

Notes:

1. This sort buffer is only allocated when executing a Natural program which contains a `SORT` statement.
2. Increasing the buffer size setting leads to faster `SORT` processing, in particular when all data to be sorted fit into the sort buffer.
