по значению

[1122]

подскажите пожалуйста, как правильно сказать
Признаки ХХХ были отсортированы по значению ХХХ

контекст, надеюсь, не нужен.
спасибо всем заранее

[10-4]

features XX were sorted out by value of YY

[kath]

Признаки - can also mean signs, characteristics, attributes, aspects,etc
значениe - can also mean term, significance, meaning, etc

perhaps i just don't understand, but i would need more context
