Sort Tree by values, keep paths

Grasshopper

Hi All,

I’m trying to sort a data tree by the values within it.
I extracted the value of interest (in my case, the 0th value), sorted it, and kepth the paths. Then I used the replace component (as suggested by a different forum post), but the results were unexpected.

In the image below, I have the input data on the left, with the lowest 3 values shown. In the bottom right, I have the sorted values and paths correct. In the top right, is the replaced values with unpredictable data, and the paths unchanged.

I would like to see the output to be the same data and paths as the input, but ordered by the input value.

As I’m writing this, I’m wondering - can paths even be re-arranged? I guess that’s like reordering the indices of a list, which doesn’t make sense.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

This doesn’t solve the problem as I hope.

In your example, value 5 {0;7} becomes 5 {0;9} - I want the values to retain the same path, but to change position in the list for ease of inspection.

As mentioned in my original post - I accept if this is not possible (assuming the path defines the position in the list)

this might be one way, first sort the data tree then replace paths
