If you want games like Hexa Sort that run in a browser tab, the closest match on crokocat is Comb Sort: you drop stacks of coloured tiles onto a honeycomb, matching colours slide together, and ten of a kind lift off the board. It is free and needs no install. If you like the sorting more than the hexagons, five other games give you the same calm tidy-up feeling: Rainbow Sort, Gem Sort, Stock Up, Sand Drop and Small Wonders.
Comb Sort: the direct match for the honeycomb
The hexagon puzzles share one pleasure: a small move makes a big thing happen. You place a stack, the colours sort themselves, and the board tidies up while you watch. That is the feeling every game below is chasing, starting with the direct match.
Comb Sort is a hexagon sorting puzzle with one rule: colours that touch stick together. You take a stack of coloured tiles from the tray, drop it on the honeycomb, and matching tiles slide across to their own kind. When ten tiles of one colour pile up they fly off and count towards the level goal.
Cells start locked with a number printed on them, and they open as you clear tiles, so the comb grows with you. From level eight there is wood and from level fifteen there is ice, both broken by clearing next to them. A level opens with three colours and builds up to eight. There is no timer, no move limit and no lives: you lose only when all three tray stacks have nowhere to go.

Rainbow Sort keeps the colour-matching but swaps tiles for rolling marbles. You tap a tray to release its next marble onto a moving conveyor, then steer it into the box of its own colour. Fill a box and it clears with a pop.
The whole game is about space. The belt only holds so many marbles, and if it overflows with no matching box open, the level ends. There are two modes: Classic, with a fixed set of marbles per level, and Endless, where marbles keep coming and the belt speeds up.

Gem Sort is the closest thing here to a traditional sort puzzle. Flasks hold four gems each, and a gem can move only onto the same colour or into an empty flask. Tap a flask to pick up its top gems, then tap another to pour. Fill a flask with four of a kind and it locks in.
The trap is the empty flask: spend it carelessly and nothing can move. Undo and restart are always available, and undo is free and unlimited, so it suits players who want to think rather than ration mistakes.

Stock Up moves the sorting onto a wooden shelf full of goods such as apples, cupcakes, milk cartons and rubber ducks. Drag an item to a free spot, or tap it and then tap a cubby. Put three alike in one cubby and they clear away.
Darker goods wait in rows behind, and when a cubby's front is empty the next row steps forward. You have to empty the whole shelf before the moves run out. There are 300 shelves, each bigger and deeper than the last.

In Sand Drop, jars hold pictures laid down in coloured sand, and chunky trays slide on a grid beneath them. Drag a tray under a jar whose bottom colour matches and the sand pours in by itself. Fill a tray and it pops off the board.
A time bar starts with your first move, so there is a calm moment to look before you touch anything. Several trays can pour at once, which is where good players find their time. There are 500 levels.

Small Wonders sorts storybook townsfolk into categories instead of colours. You drag a picture card onto the category card it fits, such as Bakers or Birds. Fill all eight dots and the category flies off the board.
If a category is still buried in a deck, you can park cards in the Hold row, which has three slots, and send a whole stack home in a single move. Every level has a move limit. It has 200 levels, and it is the best pick if the tidy-up feeling matters more to you than the colours.
