The SORT_AREA_SIZE parameter is the maximum amount of memory given to an Oracle session for sorting before using the temporary segments.
The parameter SORT_AREA_RETAINED_SIZE is the space that will be retained for the results of the sort.
Lastly temporary segments should never be created in PERMANENT tablespaces only in TEMPORARY tablespaces. This is for many performance reasons.
