A sorter for stapling is provided with an arrangement of a plurality of sorting bins and a paper guide means which discharges the papers to predetermined bins. A stapling means is provided to move to the positions corresponding to the predetermined bins. The stapling means moves to a position corresponding to a bin in which are held the papers to be stapled among the predetermined bins, and effects the stapling process under the condition where the papers are held in said bin. The stapling number setting means sets the number of bins in which are held the papers that are to be stapled. A control means is provided which, after the papers are discharged to the predetermined bins by the paper guide means, causes the stapling means to effect the stapling process for only those papers that are held in the bins of a number corresponding to the number of said bins.
