Claim 16:
17. A method for sorting objects with a sorting device according to claim 1, wherein the method comprises the following:
arranging the objects on a chute to move the objects by means of gravitational force;
spectroscopic measuring of the objects using a LIBS laser device;
sorting the following:
a first fraction of the objects by means of a blow-out element in the form of one or more discharge nozzles, from which at least one fluid stream emerges, arranged above the chute and/or above an imaginary extension of the chute; and
a second fraction of the objects by means of a further blow-out element in the form of one or more discharge nozzles, from which at least one fluid stream emerges, arranged below the chute and/or below the imaginary extension of the chute; and

adjusting at least one of the angle between the discharge direction of the blow-out element and the conveying direction or the angle (β) between the discharge direction of the further blow-out element and the conveying direction.
