When you have a warehouse, there are a lot of items in there. Sorting is going to be the process of categorizing the items and putting them in specific places based on what they are. Sorting is the process that is going to make finding items, easier. This is something that anyone can do, however, it is not always implemented.

Sorting is an especially important concept when it comes to a warehouse. Without it you will never find anything, and everything will be a mess. If you do not have a system, you will lose items.
