From Oracle Doc,

SORT_AREA_SIZE specifies the maximum amount, in bytes, of memory to use for a sort. Increasing SORT_AREA_SIZE size improves the efficiency of large sorts. Multiple allocations never exist; there is only one memory area of SORT_AREA_SIZE for each user process at any time.

Use Alter session or Alter system to increase the size.

Hope that helps,
coby

In your init.ora file, modify or add the following

# sort area size of 1 M
sort_area_size = 1048576

then recycle the database.
