sortings
Acts of organizing
Sortings is the plural of sorting, the act or process of arranging things into categories or order.
The word appears most often in technical contexts—data sortings, mail sortings—where multiple distinct sorting operations occur: The algorithm requires three separate sortings before the data is fully organized.
