A simple bubble sort for 8 bit values:

  ; Macro ``Order'' puts the values in registers X and Y
  ; in order (X <= Y) by swapping their values (if necessary).
ORDER   MACRO   X,Y
        local endif
        ;if( Y < X)...
        MOVFW    X
        SUBWF   Y,W ; compare and set W := (Y-X). (modulo 0xff).
        BC endif
        ;...then swap them.
        ADDWF   X,f               ; Xnew := X + (Y-X) = Y;
        SUBWF   Y,f               ; Ynew := Y - (Y-X) = X;
endif:
        ; now X <= Y.
        ENDM

; SUBROUTINE SORTSUB() SORTS REG1-REG4 IN ASCENDING ORDER.
        SORTSUB:
                CALL    SORT3
                CALL    SORT2
        SORT1:  ORDER   REG1,REG2
        SORT2:  ORDER   REG2,REG3
        SORT3:  ORDER   REG3,REG4
                RETURN
; SORTSUB requires 21 words of code.

The "order" macro sorts 2 numbers (8 bit values).
