Unlike the Mk.I and Mk.II models, the Mk.III stacks several items each | 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 Machine Mk.I|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 ''apply'' a filter, select an installed sorter, then click "Filter" on the control panel that appears.
