==Summary==
Transport items from [[Conveyor Belts]] into facilities, from facilities out to cargo belts or between facilities directly. The sorter can install a filter to only move specific items. A Sorter can cover a maximum distance of three tiles.

* [[Sorter Mk.I]] (yellow), which has a transport rate of 1.5 items per second, or 90/min.
* [[Sorter Mk.II]] (green), which has a transport speed of 3 items per second or 180/min.
* [[Sorter Mk.III]] (blue), which has a transport speed of 6 items per second or 360/min, multiplied by the current [[Sorter Cargo Stacking (Upgrade)|Sorter Cargo Stacking]] bonus (36/s or 2,160/min at level 5).

==Player Tips & Tricks==
Sorters, like [[Splitter]]s, can have filters applied to them. This allows for the possibility of transporting several different components on a single [[Conveyor Belt Mk.I|Conveyor Belt]], rather than requiring a separate conveyor for each component. Likewise, filtered Sorters can be used to output specific components from specific ports on buildings that produce more than one component, such as [[Oil Refinery|Oil Refineries]].

Unlike the [[Sorter Mk.I|Mk.I]] and [[Sorter Mk.II|Mk.II]] models, when [[Sorter Cargo Stacking (Upgrade)|upgraded]], the Mk.III stacks several items each trip, which '''may cause jams''' if the input consists of more than one kind of item, like when feeding an [[Assembling Machines|assembling machine]] from a [[Storage Mk.I|storage]] or when taking items out of production facilities that have several outputs. This can be avoided by setting a filter in the sorter.

To ''apply'' a filter, select an installed sorter, then click Filter on the control panel that appears. Choose which component you wish the sorter to handle exclusively.

To ''remove'' a filter, select an installed sorter, then click the X that appears next to the component’s icon.
