### Sort Features

When this value is set to TRUE (1), Optimize Path sorts features solely based on distance and the time penalty for tip changes as specified by "Penalty_MIP", "Penalty_PH10", and "Penalty_WRIST". Dimensions are moved based on the "InsertDimensions" setting and constructed features are always inserted as soon as possible.

When this value is set to FALSE (0), and the tip change penalty is NOT set to 0.0, Optimize Path will not sort the features. However, features will still be grouped together by tip in order to minimize tip changes. Dimensions are moved based on the "InsertDimensions" setting and constructed features are always inserted as soon as possible.

When this value is set to FALSE (0), and the tip change penalty IS set to 0.0, Optimize Path will not sort the features and features will NOT be grouped by tip. Additionally, dimensions and constructed features will not be moved. Basically, all that is done in this case is to assign tips to features (when "AddTips" is set to TRUE (1)). No commands are moved.
