If you talk about a particular sort of something, you are talking about a class of things that have particular features in common and that belong to a larger group of related things.

You describe someone as a particular sort when you are describing their character.

If you sort things, you separate them into different classes, groups, or places, for example so that you can do different things with them.

If you get a problem or the details of something sorted, you do what is necessary to solve the problem or organize the details.

All sorts of things or people means a large number of different things or people.

If you describe something as a thing of sorts or as a thing of a sort, you are suggesting that the thing is of a rather poor quality or standard.

You use sort of when you want to say that your description of something is not very accurate.

If you are out of sorts, you feel slightly unwell, upset, or annoyed.
