How to sort internal by binary search...please don't suggest SORT TABLE or HASHED table to use...

You can use a SORTED Table.

data: itab type sorted table of mara 
            with unique key MATNR.

hi,

Use SORT Statement....

i.e,

sort itab.

Here is the code

TYPES: BEGIN OF PERSON_TYPE,
NAME(10) TYPE C,
AGE TYPE I,
COUNTRY(3) TYPE C,
END OF PERSON_TYPE.

DATA: PERSON TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF PERSON_TYPE WITH
NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 5,
WA_PERSON TYPE PERSON_TYPE.

WA_PERSON-NAME = 'Muller'. WA_PERSON-AGE = 22.
WA_PERSON-COUNTRY = 'USA'.
APPEND WA_PERSON TO PERSON.
WA_PERSON-NAME = 'Moller'. WA_PERSON-AGE = 25.
WA_PERSON-COUNTRY = 'FRG'.
APPEND WA_PERSON TO PERSON.
WA_PERSON-NAME = 'Möller'. WA_PERSON-AGE = 22.
WA_PERSON-COUNTRY = 'USA'.
APPEND WA_PERSON TO PERSON.
WA_PERSON-NAME = 'Miller'. WA_PERSON-AGE = 23.
WA_PERSON-COUNTRY = 'USA'.
APPEND WA_PERSON TO PERSON.

SORT PERSON.

SORT PERSON BY NAME AS TEXT

SORT PERSON DESCENDING BY COUNTRY AGE NAME.

SORT PERSON DESCENDING BY AGE ASCENDING NAME AS TEXT.

Reward if it helps,

There are a lot of different ways to write a SORT statement. It really depends on how you want to sort.

Example.

sort ivbep by vbeln posnr ascending
              edatu descending.
