Sorting IDs - peshang - 12-21-2020
is there a way to sort particle IDs?
RE: Sorting IDs - tyFlow - 12-21-2020
What do you mean?
RE: Sorting IDs - peshang - 12-22-2020
Like having a way to sort particle's birth ID sequencally or from a property or randomly ordered.

For Script operator purposes...or...?
I'm just not sure the usage case here

yes indeed I want to re-calculate the particles I have in the current event in a particular way ( let's say along positive X-axis)

Right but what is the intended output?
Also you can use a Script operator to iterate over particles in any order you'd like.
RE: Sorting IDs - peshang - 12-30-2020
the intended output is generating bindings between the particles .. in the order I mentioned ( along the X-axis)
..
I have a fake slicing cylinder that is continuously fractured and respawned to give the illusion of continuous cutting.
so this results in a case where the birth particle IDs are cranking up quickly and things get a bit random ..
i want to make bindings between the particles but first .. i want to have them sorted so that bindings follow the IDs in the order i am going to set.
