*What happened?* The connect node connects points of the incoming geometry, in order. By changing the *order* of the points (using the sort node), the shape changes. The points no longer follow the circle in a clockwise direction but are sorted by their X coordinates, in other words, points are sorted from left to right.

By playing with different sort orders you can get some interesting results. Try "Proximity To Point" and dragging the point handle in the viewer. Changing the ellipse to a text path and see what you can come up with (you might want to increase the text size and the number of points in resample).
