Method for sorting corn kernels of a batch of corn kernels, the method comprising the steps of: - laying the corn kernel on a support surface, the corn kernel having a resting surface in contact with the support surface, and an upper surface opposite the resting surface, - acquiring at least one orientation image of the corn kernel with an orientation imaging system, the orientation imaging system having a modality adapted to enable structural features of the corn kernel to be measured, - determining an orientation of the corn kernel with respect to the support surface based on the structural features of the corn kernel measured on the orientation image, - sorting the corn kernel as a function of the orientation.
