Manipulating/Sorting Dice after they are Rolled? (Not a cheating question)

Hi all, I'm just wondering if there is any way to facilitate a player (or gm) say rolling a pool of d6, then sorting them into sets etc and keeping them "on screen" until the round/scene is over? Basically I'm looking to run Dust Bowl Galaxy on roll 20 and its system has you roll Xd6, then create matching stacks, you can then spend any of these dice or stacks to resolve actions throughout the round. I was wondering if there is a way to facilitate this? Kind regards, discuit.

You could handle this with Rollable Tables representing 'Tokens' that have multiple sides.  Place as many tokens on the table top as you want.  Then have each one show a random side.

If you do '/roll Xd6sa', that will roll your dice and sort them ascending -- you can then drag and pull individual dice out of the chat and set those dice on your game table... and you can even re-roll them, if you right-click on the die on the table, select Multi-sided>>Random Side.

Since you're a pro user, there's a script that might help: <a href="https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-api-scripts/tree/master/DiceInTheVineyard" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-api-scripts/tree/master/DiceInTheVineyard</a> It's designed for the game Dogs in the Vineyard, where each player rolls a big pool of dice, and then spends those dice 1-3 at a time during a conflict. Each die becomes a token associated with a character, and you can move them around to your hearts content. The script allows you to remove them quickly when done with.
Wow! Thanks so much folks, greatly appreciated!
