Thank you SO MUCH!

I'm a total noob, and I really appreciate the help getting into this awesome piece of software.

I replicated your node tree probably 20 times and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong… Delete Channels on the Timestamp node! Doh./ Working like a champ now.

Thanks for that reply! That example works great. For some reason I'm unable to replicate the same results in my scene. hmmm… I am able to get the points position to stick via the attribute interpolate, but for whatever reason, the point number sorting doesn't stick.


Attaching my scene here and the source .fbx I'm using to scatter onto. (too big to attach apparently)

Really appreciate the help!

I'm scattering points onto an animated character and trying to reorder the points from low to high starting at the feet. The Sort SOP (By Y) works, but the point number obviously changes as the mesh deforms.

Is there a way to set the point number on frame 1 based on the Y Axis, then have it stick?

I appreciate any help, I'm slowly learning Houdini, but have a long way to go
Thanks so much!
