Abstract: A sorting installation (10) for sorting items has a holder (12) which is open at the front, having at least one sorting compartment (14) for accommodating sorted items and at least one partition element for subdividing the sorting compartment. At least one sorting compartment has a drawer (18) which can be pulled out of the holder at least partially in a pulling-out direction, and with at least one partition element configured as a separator (20, 21, 22), arranged parallel to the pulling-out direction, not fixed to the drawer and, when the drawer is moved out in the pulling-out direction, not moving along therewith; once moved out, the drawer is no longer subdivided by the least one separator.
