Animation node - sorting a collection of objects from their size Could you please help.
I've got a collection of objects, I want each of them to appear ( every 10 frame animation) in the viewer. Starting from the smallest to the biggest.



Dear Leander

Thank you, We are on the way to find the solution.
In your node suggestion, the object size is not satisfying the size request and Suzanne never appears ?.
the object with the smallest size shoud appear first
I mean cone 10 or cube 9
then for example in desorder (because their size seems similar) Cube 4 or Cylinder 5 or sphere 6 or cone 7 or suzanne 8 
then cube 3
then cone 2
then cube 1




See my work, I am stuck and do not see how to progress. I have tried to find some ideas to continue, unfortunately. Thank you 


Dear Gorgious,
Thank you for helping, It's sems you got the solution, but I could not succeed with the node description you left (I use 2.82 version &amp; 2.1.7 AN).
I'm a beginner with AN.
As you can see on the first node I don't have like you the Float input in Float List
On the 2nd node I get Index and object list (not Object like you)
on the 4th node seems OK
On the 5th node I do not get the first Invoke subprogram with Float List as output...and similar answer for the others
See my nodes



Still struggling with this nodes interpretation
Sorry about, I Cannot make it work. Any help ?
Starting with dimensions...I went unsuccesfully on Data API and got lost..
I think we can do it in 4 steps :

Set up a loop to extract the size of each object. Since the "size" can be subjective, I calculated the length of the vector resulting from the object's dimensions (Bounding box).



Next, sort the list and use the sorted indices to get the object list sorted by size.



Finally, make the objects appear with a delay in a loop, in the correct order.



The main loop :
