Sort objects by one visible property

The idea

Read or listen to the sorting rule: use only the named property.

Step by step
  1. Read or listen to the sorting rule: use only the named property.
  2. Look at each object for that property.
  3. Objects can share a group even if their other properties differ.

Example

The rule is color. Where does a red square block go: the red group or the blue group?

Answer

the red group

Its color is red; its square shape does not change this color sort.
