sorting a tree by lenght of the branches

Hi,

I´m sorry for this rather basic question but suddently I still cannot get it right.

I have a data tree with 142 branches and I would like to sort my Data Tree according to the length of the branches. It supposed to be quite simple but sorting by List length doesn´t give my strings as the output. I tried several options in flattening or grafting my DataTree but I still cannot get it right. Do I have to use the path mapper for this operation?

Hi Dennis,

Try not to input your whole tree into the "K" plug of "Sort" component. Use the index of tree branch paths instead:

Saw your question on the weekend but did not have access to GH so could not test idea but it seems to work. Try this, its just a progression on djordje script but using minimum components.

Hope it helps
