assorts
Divides by type
Assorts means to sort or arrange into groups by type or kind.
A warehouse worker assorts merchandise by category; a collector assorts stamps by country of origin.
The word appears most often in its participial forms: an assorted box of chocolates, oddly assorted companions.
To assort with something is to match or harmonize with it, though this sense is rare.
