The main task of the sorting operation is to rearrange the random serial of records into an ordered serial of records according to some keywords. The authors know that there are many sorting methods in computer science. The authors discussed the essence of semi\u2010partial order and macroscopical\u2010order and the transformation between semi\u2010partial order and macroscopical\u2010order from the point of panscale's view; the essence of this transformation is revealed. By combining the PMT (PMT\u2010combination), it is easy for the authors to get a deep understanding of the technology in computer science.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The need for application of the order relation, the authors explored the relationship between macroscopical\u2010order and semi\u2010partial order.
