In this arrangement, a sorter bin array is arranged to receive copy sheets on one side and to collate the copy sheets into copy sets corresponding to a multiple page document. A set transport is arranged on the other side of the bin array for unloading the completed copy sets. The bin array is indexed in either direction to either receive copy sheets or to permit unloading.
