PointCloudSorter
Typical Uses
- Sorting point cloud points in preparation for further manipulation or analysis
How does it work?
The PointCloudSorter receives point cloud features, and re-orders the points within them according to selected component values. The sort order may be either ascending or descending.
Sorting may be done on more than one component, in which case the points are sorted primarily by the first selected component and order, secondarily by the second, and so on.
Multiple point clouds may be sorted, and each one will be sorted individually (not merged).

Usage Notes
Choosing a Point Cloud Transformer
FME has a selection of transformers for working specifically with point cloud data.
For information on point cloud geometry and properties, see Point Clouds (IFMEPointCloud).

Parameters
Editing Transformer Parameters
Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.
Defining Values
There are several ways to define a value for use in a Transformer. The simplest is to simply type in a value or string, which can include functions of various types such as attribute references, math and string functions, and workspace parameters. There are a number of tools and shortcuts that can assist in constructing values, generally available from the drop-down context menu adjacent to the value field.
Dialog Options - Tables
Transformers with table-style parameters have additional tools for populating and manipulating values.
