Abstract: A sorting system (1) comprising a lower sorter (2) including a plurality of lower sorter units (4) drivable along a loop-shaped lower path, an upper sorter (3) including a plurality of upper sorter units (5) drivable along a loop-shaped upper path, extending above the lower path. The lower/upper sorters is provided with a first lower/upper input (6)(11), a second lower/upper input (7)(12), a first lower/upper output (8) (13) and a second lower/upper output (9)(14), the first lower/upper output (8)(13) being located downstream of the first lower/upper input (6)( 11) and upstream of the second lower input (7) (12), the second lower/upper output (9)( 14) being located downstream of the second lower/upper input (7)(12) and upstream of the first lower/upper input (6)(11). The sorting system also comprises a pre-sorter being configured to supply articles to the lower and upper sorter units (4, 5) at the second lower and upper inputs (7, 12), which pre-sorted articles are destined for the second lower and upper outputs (9, 14), respectively, substantially only. The second lower output (9) is located at the first upper output (13) and the first lower output (8) is located at the second upper output (14).
