not really a ask, see this more as a mp (but you can make it public if you so wish)
started messing around with G'MIC today, it's a super powerful image processing software/effects collection, i figured you might love this if you don't already know it

(before anyone asks, yes it has pixel sorting among dozen of other effects under the "degradations" section (and all of it is open source))
Thanks for thinking of me!!! I've just poked around a little bit but excited to do some layering with the filters and then trying out incorporating them into other stuff. I'm kind of obsessed with the textured glass one.
Posting publicly with examples in case anyone else is interested. I'm using it as a plugin to Affinity Photo but it's available as a command line tool, plugin to other software, and even online (which is neat because I just realized it has thumbnail previews of all the filters). Filters above are textured glass, Huffman glitches, self glitching, and vector painting.
