Challenge #470: Build the Tallest Tower

First time creating an iterative macro. I learned a lot from this challenge. 

 

The macro contains a sort inside, but the results are the outputs of each iteration, sorted, stacked on top of eachother. It ended up requiring another sort afterwards.

Iterative macros are so difficult for me. Had to take help from YT 😖

@Ryan-YeungThanks for your reply, and what you said is true. This weekly challenge is a great example of talking to the customer. If the customer asks for a solution with a maximum of 100 iterations, but only 26 blocks are provided, then what exactly was the customer thinking about? This type of discrepancy is quite interesting to me :-)

Here's my solution. This took me waaaaay longer than it should have, but I'm getting a little faster at configuring iterative macros and this is the practice I need.

It always takes me several tries to get a macro to work correctly.
