categorise
Assign to groups
Categorise is the British spelling of categorize.
To categorise is to sort things into groups based on shared characteristics: The librarian categorised the books by genre.
The word implies systematic classification rather than casual grouping.
Things that resist easy categorisation often prove most interesting.
