sort...whats a sort...I to wonder. Actually I used to sort, but now I just do my own laundry and my children are doing their own laundry so i just clump it into the washer and hope my whites stay white. I usually don't buy white clothing since it sticks all over the darks. I do sort for sweater and clothes that aren't sweaters. I only hang sheets on the line...you can't beat fresh sheeps...opps I mean sheets.
