Depends on the candy. Usually I don't care much, though if they have distinct flavors, I often leave those I like the most for later.
I don't sort but I will generally only eat the same color or close color/flavor ones at the same time (thinking skittles here).
Depends what mood I'm in~ I have done both, but now that I think about it, it really comes down to if I have access to a flat surface or not... ˝/\__/\˝ (✿⚆.⚆) /˙˙˙˙˙🫰\ *hmmmm*
