I am trying to make a factory that autocrafts solar panels, you place the materials in a chest and then they are extracted from it by a sorting machine, which then colour-codes them and sends them down the tubes to where they are needed. The problem I am having is that the sorting machine seems very inconsistent with its sorting, sometimes its slider stops at columns when it runs out of that material, and sometimes it skips that column. My main problem though is sorting the redstone, I put redstone in two different columns because it needs to go to both the battery maker for the generator, and the electronic circuit maker, but the sorting machine only sends the redstone to one of them no matter what I do.

Is there a way for this to work? this problem has frustrated me for a long time now.
