A plurality of fasteners () mounts to the cross member () for sliding movement between a forward position and a rearward position along the longitudinal axis. Each of the fasteners (14) includes a pair of clasping members ()having a pair of clasping surfaces () closeable upon one another for holding objects in planes extending generally transverse to the longitudinal axis. The fasteners () may be slid forwardly or rearwardly for sorting hats attached to the fasteners using an ergonomically advantageous motion.
