Sorting method, sorting installation and sorting system

Sorting installation for sorting a plurality of objects in at least three sort runs, having:

• an inputting station (2) for inputting the objects that are to be sorted into the sorting installation;
• an outputting station (13) for outputting the objects that are to be sorted from the sorting installation;
• and
• a plurality of parking sections (7, 8) upon which the objects are respectively stored until a respective sort run has ended,
• characterised by
• dividing the parking sections into a first and a second block (A and B, respectively) of parking sections (7 and 8, respectively);
• a first transfer section (9) which connects the inputting station (2) to the first block (A) of parking sections (7) in such a manner that the latter can be filled from the inputting station (2) in a first sorting step;
• a second transfer section (10) which connects the first block (A) to the second block (B) in such a manner that the objects are transferred direct from the first block (A) to the second block (B) in a second sort run;
• and
• a third transfer section (11) which connects the second block (B) to the first block (A) in such a manner that the objects are transferred direct from the second block (B) back to the first block (A) in a third sort run.

• a connection which joins the inputting station (2) to the first block (A) of parking sections (7) in such a manner that the latter can be filled from the inputting station (2) in a first sorting step;
• a first set of relocators (24) which connects the first block (A) to the second block (B) in such a manner that the objects are transferred from the first block (A) to the second block (B) in a second sort run;
• and
• a second set of relocators (25) which connects the second block (B) to the first block (A) in such a manner that the objects are transferred from the second block (B) back to the first block (A) in a third sort run.
