sort n points in a list - groups of n points

hi,

I am trying to sort a list of 115 points into groups of 5: point 0-4, point 5-9 etc. It seems that this question was discussed several times in the forum, but I have tried the [path mapper], [graft tree], [replace branches] ... etc. but couldnt find the solution.

i would appreciate any help, thank you!!

I'm pretty sure SortPoints is all you need.

You may need to flatten the list first.

Or, if you're trying to order each group with index 0 to 4 repetitively, you could do something like this:

If you want to do this with the path mapper then you can find the example here right at the bottom of the image under Grouping. Or you could do it with replace branches example
