# `GSLayer sortedSelectedNodes`

*Instance Method*

The selected nodes in path order.

## Declaration

```swift
func sortedSelectedNodes() -> [GSNode]
```

```objc

```

```python
sortedSelectedNodes() -> list[GSNode]
```

## Discussion

For partial closed-path selections, wrapped selections are ordered around the path start.
