Sorter Spotlight: The Sock Algorithm

Step 1: Gather Socks

Collect all socks from the washing machine, dryer, and various hiding places around the house.

Separate socks into piles based on their color, texture, and pattern. This is the most critical step in the process.

Sort socks by size, from the tiny ankle socks to the massive, novelty socks. Precision is key in this step.

Sort socks with patterns, like stripes, polka dots, or holiday-themed designs, into separate piles. The fun begins here.

Sort socks by their original owner, including but not limited to: family members, pets, and mysterious sock thieves.
