In a method for automatically grouping articles, the articles are moved on a belt to a manipulation device for grouping the articles in a predetermined order to form an assortment. Orientation and position of the articles on the belt are detected by a recognition device. A manipulation position based on the orientation and position detected by the recognition device, the belt speed, and the number of articles on the belt leading and/or trailing each article is determined for each article. The manipulation position is an assigned position in the assortment or an advanced or pushed-back position in the feeding direction. The advanced position or the pushed-back position is assigned when the number of articles leading and/or trailing each article is smaller than the predetermined number of the assortment. The manipulation device moves the articles into the manipulation position as soon as the articles reach its gripping range.
