A method and apparatus for grouping metal ingots of predetermined shape into ingot groups each consisting of four ingots and stacking these ingot groups in tiers to form a stack. In the method and apparatus, two kinds of ingot groups of different patterns are automatically alternately stacked in tiers utilizing the movement of a conveyor conveying the ingots, so that dangerous relative sliding movement of the ingots in the stack may not occur during transportation.
