“…All methods have their own assumption, characteristics, paradigm, and perspective. - Outranking methods such as PROMSORT (Araz & Ozkarahan, 2005) and Flowsort (Nemery & Lamboray, 2008) which are based on PROMETHEE, require that the decision‐maker defines preference functions for each attribute and also indifference and preference thresholds.
- Distance‐based approaches which are extensions of compensatory methods such as TOPSISsort (de Lima Silva et al, 2020; De Lima Silva & de Almeida Filho, 2020; Ocampo et al, 2021; Sabokbar et al, 2016; Yamagishi & Ocampo, 2022) and VIKORsort (Demir et al, 2018; Ocampo & Yamagishi, 2021; Polat et al, 2021; Sabbagh et al, 2021) need to determine positive and negative ideal solutions and measure the distance between each alternative and these ideals.
- Pairwise comparison‐based approaches relying on subjective judgments of the decision‐makers, need to build a hierarchy showing the relations between attributes and/or alternatives and too many survey questions should be answered by the experts, such as AHPsort (Ishizaka et al, 2012; Toledo et al, 2019), AHPsort II (Labella et al, 2020; Miccoli & Ishizaka, 2017; Xie et al, 2019), some fuzzy AHP sorting methods (Du et al, 2021; Ishizaka et al, 2020; Krejci & Ishizaka, 2018; Xu et al, 2019), and group AHPsort (Assumma et al, 2021; Labella et al, 2021; Lopez & Ishizaka, 2017).
