# Line Sorting

- This extension is similar to [Optimize Sequence: Travel Distances](https://wiki.stadtfabrikanten.org/books/fablab-chemnitz/page/optimize-sequence-travel-distances "Optimize Sequence: Travel Distances") and [Optimize Sequence: Small Holes First](https://wiki.stadtfabrikanten.org/books/fablab-chemnitz/page/optimize-sequence-small-holes-first "Optimize Sequence: Small Holes First").
- Also have a look at [https://github.com/inconvergent/svgsort](https://github.com/inconvergent/svgsort) which could be another great path planning tool for InkScape.
- Also check out [vpype Free Mode](https://wiki.stadtfabrikanten.org/books/fablab-chemnitz/page/vpype-free-mode "vpype Free Mode") which can do the same and more.
