Disclosed is a sorting device configured to sort N numbers with N rounds of sorting processes from a first round sorting process to an Nround sorting process and obtain N-rounds sort results from a first-round sort result to an N-round sort result, wherein at least two pairs of numbers of the N numbers are sorted in each of the N rounds of sorting processes concurrently, a K-round sort result is dependent on a (K&#x2212;1)-round sort result, the N-round sort result is the N numbers in a descending/ascending order, and the N is an integer greater than two. The sorting device includes sorting circuits and duplicating circuits that are selectively used for each of the N rounds of sorting processes. Each sorting circuit is configured to sort two numbers and obtain the collating sequence of the two numbers. Each duplicating circuit is configured to output a number it received.
