How to use «Sort out» in context?
The word «sort» is derived from the Old French word «sortir,» meaning «to leave out, dismiss, eject.» It originally referred to the process of selecting a desirable item from a group of less desirable items. This still happens in daily life, for example when we decide which clothes to wear. We «sort» them according to our personal preference.
Sorting programs are used for many different purposes. For example, one type of sorting is used in databases. When data is entered into a database, it is usually multiple records per file.
