Ways to Sort

There are many ways to sort data or objects. Here are

some examples:

 By colour: Grouping objects of the same colour
together is an easy way to sort. For example, a

collection of pens can be sorted by colour, like:

 Blue pens

 Black pens

 Green pens

 By size: Sorting data by size means grouping the
large items together and the small ones together.

For example, a collection of plants can be sorted
by size:

 Tall plants

 Medium-sized plants

 Short plants

 By type: Data can also be sorted by
type. For example, type of colours can

be organised into categories such as:

 Water colours

 Pencils

 Crayons
 Wax colours

 By shape: Sorting by shape means grouping
objects with the same shape. For example, a

collection of blocks can be organised into:
 Triangle blocks

 Square blocks

 Star-shaped blocks
