sorting systems
Ways to arrange
Sorting systems are methods or mechanisms for organizing items into categories or sequences.
In logistics and manufacturing, sorting systems are physical equipment—conveyors, chutes, and automated machinery—that route packages or products to designated destinations: The warehouse installed a new sorting system to handle holiday volume.
In computing, sorting systems are algorithms that arrange data in a specified order.
The term also applies to any organized scheme for classification: The library's sorting system separates fiction from nonfiction.
