Granted, this comes after 20 years in the industry (and maybe no more
-- I was laid-off <G>)...
Given your description as the requirements I'd have to argue at a
design review that it would be more efficient to have the probe NOT
sort the measurements, instead using the time wasted on sorting to
collect even MORE data measurements and send the whole batch in a
continuous stream -- leave the sorting to the ground station post
processing, wherein any delay is not critical.
