Statement resources are spent performing sort operation.
Heavy Sort finding

Description
What to do next
Perform one of the following options:
n   Click the Locate icon to focus on the relevant step in the execution plan.
n   Select the finding type to investigate step statistics and resource consumption in the Statistics tab.
Advice
Try to solve the problem at the statement level by one of the following options:
n   Add an index to prevent a sort.
n   If your statement has an Order by clause that has columns for a single table, check whether you can add an index. In some cases, you may get an index recommendation that prevents a sort. If you are considering adding an index, you must check the effect of that index.
To analyze that effect, launch to the What if workspace.
n   If the sort involves I/O on the temporary tablespace, you can reduce the I/O consumption for the sort operation by changing the SORT_AREA_SIZE to a higher value.
If you are using PGA settings, you can change the PGA_Aggregated_Target, so as to avoid sort area size problems. You can either change the values for a specific session using the Alter Session command, or for the entire instance.
