    In the self‐assembly of PdII ions and two different, but similarly shaped, ligands (1 and 2), neither random mixing nor self‐sorting of the two ligands into two unmixed structures was observed. Instead a mixed, yet sorted, Pd12(1)12(2)12 cantellated tetrahedron (and its pseudoisomer) was selectively formed, thus revealing a fine example of intramolecular self‐sorting. A case study showed that a homothetic ratio of >2 is necessary to observe cantellated tetrahedra. Intramolecular self‐sorting: The complexation of PdII ions with two similarly shaped ligands with distinctly different bridging lengths has generated a Pd12(L1)12(L2)12 cantellated tetrahedron and its pseudoisomer in which the two ligands are mixed but are regularly mapped onto the polyhedral framework. A study showed that a homothetic ratio of >2 is necessary to observe cantellated tetrahedra.
