A sorting system (1) for luggage as well as a corresponding method is described. Known sorting systems handle early dropped off luggage differently from on-time-luggage leading to increased cost, complexity and delays. To overcome this problem a sorting system is described comprising a sorting area (6) and a controller system which is adapted to receive at least one luggage-related sorting information for each luggage piece. The sorting system (1) also comprises a transport mechanism which is arranged to transport the luggage pieces to be sorted into a sorting area (6) of the sorting system. The sorting area comprises at least one make-up-place (7) connected to the transport mechanism and adapted to sort the plurality of luggage pieces according to at least one luggage-related sorting information, and a plurality of movable load devices (8, 9, 10) arranged to receive each at least one luggage piece sorted by the at least one make-up-place (7) according to the at least one luggage-related sorting information. The controller system is adapted to assign each luggage piece according to at least one luggage-related information to a particular movable load device (8, 9, 10). The controller system is also adapted to select a make-up-place (7) for each luggage piece and to send the luggage piece to the selected make-up-place (7) to be loaded into the assigned movable load device (8, 9, 10).
