Answer / Abhijit Kumar Sinha

High disk sorts in v$sysstat indicate that the database is performing many sorts on disk, which can be a performance bottleneck. This can often be improved by optimizing queries with sorting requirements, using indexes, or increasing system resources such as memory and CPU. Reducing disk sorts requires careful analysis of the underlying SQL statements and potential restructuring of data access patterns.
