Learn how to sort and reorganize objects in Blender using Geometry Nodes based on any numerical value or attribute.
In this tutorial, we use Sort Elements (Sort Weight) to reorder objects by scale, animate smooth transitions between layouts, and expand the system from a simple line to a full 10x10 grid.
This setup works with much more than random scale. You can sort geometry using:
Custom attributes
- Distance
- Simulation data
- Imported CSV values
- Any numerical field
This makes it a powerful tool for:
- 3D Data Visualization
- Infographics
- Explainer videos
- Scientific and documentary animations
You'll also learn how to animate the transition and drive color based on value to create clear visual hierarchies.
