'''Card sorting''' is a technique in [[user experience design]] in which a person tests a group of subject experts or users to generate a [[dendrogram]] (category tree) or [[folksonomy]]. It is a useful approach for designing [[information architecture]], workflows, menu structure, or web site navigation paths.
 
Card sorting uses a relatively low-tech approach. The person conducting the test (usability analyst, user experience designer, etc.) first identifesidentifies key concepts and writes them on [[index card]]s or [[Post-it note]]s. Test subjects, individually or sometimes as a group, then arrange the cards to represent how they see the structure and relationships of the information.<ref name="Nielsen 1995" >{{cite web
