What Does Sort Mean?

The word sort can have quite a few different meanings depending upon the context in which it is used. It can also be used as either a verb or a noun.

There are four main definitions of the word sort when it is used as a verb. The first definition is to arrange something systematically in groups or to separate something according to class or type etc. For example, she sorted through some books as some were to keep and others to be thrown away. The second definition is to look at a group of things one after another in order to classify them for example, he sat down and sorted through his mail.

The fourth and final definition of the word sort when it is being used as a verb is to resolve the problems within yourself for example, he needed to take time off to sort himself out.

As mentioned before, the word sort can also be used as a noun and there are five definitions. The first one is a category of things or something that people have in common like a feature, for example, he didn’t want to be mixing with that sort of people. The second definition is a person of a specific nature for example, she was a nice sort of person. The third definition is a manner or way for example, the judge is in a sort superior to the King. The final two definitions are the arrangement of data into a prescribed sequence and a letter in a font of type.

The word sort also serves as acronyms for at least two organisations or events. First of all, the Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty, which was a treaty between the United States and the Russian Federation. And finally the Special Operations Response Team which is a group that is trained to respond to disturbances at a type of correctional facility.
