  When spin polarised electrons flow through a magnetic texture a transfer
torque is generated. We examine the effect of this torque on skyrmions and
skyrmion bags, skyrmionic structures of arbitrary integer topological degree,
in thin ferromagnetic films. Using micromagnetic simulations and analysis from
the well known Thiele equation we explore the potential for sorting or binning
skyrmions of varying degrees mechanically. We investigate the applicability of
the Thiele equation to problems of this nature and derive a theory of skyrmion
deflection ordered by topological degree.
