classifiable
Able to sort
Classifiable describes something that can be sorted into categories or assigned to a class.
The term appears most often in bureaucratic and academic contexts: The data wasn't easily classifiable under existing schemes.
In government usage, classifiable may refer to information that could be designated as classified—restricted for security reasons.
