Sort Points (Static)
Sort points using any number of properties and attributes
The Sort Points node organize points based on rules. Key elements include sorting direction (ascending/descending) and rules defined in a specific order. Each rule compares a selected attribute with a tolerance for equality. Note the warning on comparing values, emphasizing the default use of the first component for multi-component types.

Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Settings | |
| Sort Direction | The output sorting direction – Ascending (small values first) or Descending (high values first). |
| Rules | A list of ordered individual rules used for sorting the points. |
Rules ordering
Rules are compared in the same order as in the property panel, starting at index 0.
The sorting goes through each rules until it finds a valid comparison (non-equal values) – for each point.
Sorting Rule
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Selector | An attribute or property to compare. See  Attribute Selectors. |
| Tolerance | Equality tolerance used when comparing two values. |
| Invert Rule | Switches from the default < comparison to >. |
When selecting a value to compare, keep in mind that it will be broadcasted to a
doubletype. This means that if you don’t specify which component to use on multi-component type (Vectors,Transforms, etc), it will default to the first one (X).
