Sort List component?

For some reason this component I cannot figure out, maybe i have figured it out but its not doing what I want it to do. Here I have a clasic loft situation that bugs me. How can I sort these two lists (curves at the top and curves at the botom) that they loft 4 surfaces from top to botom?

Hi Theunis,

The Sort List component won't sort by itself, you have to provide it with some kind of sorting parameter list, in this case you can use the list of distances of the objects from the world origin for example:

One other thing - if you feed the Sort List component with a data tree it will sort the list in eachy path separately - in your case - it won't do a thing, since the paths contain only one item each. That's why I used those components before grafting the trees. For more information on data trees check out the Primer.
