Sort and partition by X, then sort by Y, create 'IntCrvs' and 'Loft' them:

Version 'b' sorts and partitions by Y, then sorts by X.

You can skip the sorting since the points are already in sequence; this amounts to the same thing as version 'b' posted earlier:

Many thanks Joseph,

This is really great.

If you reverse the 'IntCrv V' input (or list 'Item' output), the surface will be flipped because the curves will start at the straight edge instead of end there.

Hi,i just observed this version is missing a edge, because there is one branch that consists just of one Point, thats also why the interpolate curve component turns red, by pruning the tree you cant solve the edge problem, but you can get rid off the shift list and the interpolate curve doesnt shows up an error

Cool, thanks. I've never used 'Prune' tree before:  (re-posted with points reversed)
