Etymology
Sorting comes from the simple word sort, which goes back to the Latin sors meaning 'lot' or 'kind'. A helpful way to remember it is that to sort is to put things into kinds or groups — you can see the same root in the word assortment — so sorting is the process of arranging things into categories.
