Since the hackathon has concluded, I've been in contact with a mathematical psychologist and it appears that there is already solid science on this type of sorting. So I'll be doing some extra reading to see what more I can learn.
For now, we know that the sortation is potentially complex, depending on methodology. I'll have to brush up on some mathematics to see if I can come up with something.
