Sorting

Sorting is any process of arranging items in some sequence and/or in different sets, and accordingly, it has two common, yet distinct meanings:

  1. ordering: arranging items of the same kind, class, nature, etc. in some ordered sequence,
  2. categorizing: grouping and labeling items with similar properties together (by sorts).
