Word origin

The word 'sorted' originated from the Old French word 'sortir', meaning 'to arrange, assort'. Over time, it evolved into the Middle English word 'sorthen' which eventually became 'sort' in modern English. The concept of sorting has been an essential part of human civilization, from organizing objects to categorizing information.
