An apparatus for controlled sorting of sheet-like objects such as veneer sheets in a desired manner onto different paths of travel includes a transport conveyor formed by parallel-traveling, spaced-apart moving transport conveyor elements, such as belts, and further includes a deflecting conveyor traveling locally at least over a certain distance substantially parallel to the transport conveyor. Operating in conjunction with the transport conveyor, rotary elements are adapted so that, in a controlled manner, they can reach upward via the gaps arranged between the transport conveyor elements to lift the veneer sheets. The rotary elements are elevated so as to rest against the deflecting conveyor, and are simultaneously movable in a direction synchronized to the movement of the deflecting conveyor.
