Usage notes

 * In senses 1 and 2, the object typically refers to an abstraction: a problem, or a situation, or the like.
 * In senses 3 and 4, the object may refer to any sort of collection — a collection of physical objects, or of people, or of abstractions. In sense 4, there is very often a from phrase, characterizing the remainder of the collection.
 * In sense 5, the object refers to a person or group of people.
 * In all senses, the object may appear before or after the particle out. If the object is particularly short or lexically "light" — as with all personal pronouns — it will usually appear before the particle ("sort it out"), and if it is particularly long or lexically "heavy" — as with a noun phrase with a modifier phrase attached — it will usually appear after it ("sort out the patients with scoliosis"). Intermediate-length objects may appear either before or after ("sort the wheat out", "sort out the wheat").
 * In British usage, in sense of “to fix a problem”, often used without “out”, as in “I’ll get that sorted.”
