Abstract
When the use frequencies of the commands or data pieces of the second group are not larger than those of the commands or data pieces of the first group as the result of sorting, displaying the commands or data pieces of the second group in the order of the use frequencies of the second group without changing the order of the commands or data pieces of the first group, commands or data pieces which are frequently used are displayed at the same display positions, thereby allowing easy retrieval and selection of a desired command or data piece depending on a user'"'"'s memory.
