Sort originally referred to a kind or type, often in the sense of classification: a sort of bird.
In computing, sort is a process of arranging data in a specific order, such as alphabetical or numerical.
Sorting algorithms, like quicksort or mergesort, are foundational in computer science for organizing large datasets efficiently.
Historically, sort also meant fate or lot, as in the sort that life dealt him.
As a verb, to sort is to arrange or categorize: She sorted the laundry by color.
In informal speech, sort can mean to resolve or fix: We’ll sort this out later.
