Apparatus, method, and program for selecting a desired object from a plurality of presented objects and a medium containing the program

In order to select a desired object, a plurality of object choices serving as candidates for a desired object are first decided (S201). Then, a plurality of object choices are ordered on a predetermined criterion that can arbitrarily be changed (S202). The object choices are displayed one by one while being switched according to the ordering, with their brightness or colors changed or using a selection mark (S203). By entering a predetermined input when the desired object is displayed as an object choice (S204-S206), the user can select the desired object (S207). Since the order of presenting object choices is decided on the criterion that can arbitrarily be changed according to their attributes or the like, the appearance of the desired object can be advanced, as compared with the case where the order is fixed.
