Zusammenfassung:	A sorting system for dynamically sorting items includes movable receptacles that can receive sorted items from a sorting conveyor on the fly. A controller determines and coordinates the movement between the sorted items and the movable receptacle, so that sorted items land in the movable receptacle while the receptacle is moving. A queue of receptacles alongside a sorting conveyor and extending into an overflow region can dynamically move, contract, advance and-or reverse as needed, based on the items being sorted.
