collate
Arrange in order
To collate is to gather materials and arrange them in proper order.
You collate pages of a report before binding, or collate data from multiple sources into a single document.
Office copiers collate automatically, assembling complete sets rather than stacking identical pages.
The word implies both collection and systematic arrangement: She collated the research findings into a comprehensive summary.
