Sorting is a quick and reliable procedure for rank ordering stimuli along a subjective continuum. However, sorting auditory stimuli is difficult because they cannot be physically handled. This difficulty was overcome with a computer by assigning numbers to stimuli stored digitally on a random‐access disk. Subjects ordered the stimuli by rearranging the order of the numbers in a displayed list. Only a few subjects were necessary to obtain reliable results with the ordering procedure in several speech evaluation experiments.
