sortowane

Sortowane is a Polish term used as an adjective or past passive participle derived from the verb sortować, meaning to sort. It denotes that items or data have been arranged in a particular order, such as alphabetic or numerical order, or that they are in the process of undergoing sorting. The form is commonly used to describe lists, arrays, datasets, or other collections that are organized according to a criterion.

In Polish grammar, sortować forms include variants such as sortowana (feminine singular), sortowany (masculine singular), and sortowane (neuter singular or plural). The exact form depends on the gender and number of the noun it modifies. The word is often used in technical and everyday contexts to indicate that sorting has taken place or is intended to take place.

Usage and nuances: sortowane generally refers to the state of being sorted or the act of sorting, and it can describe both ongoing processes and completed results. A distinction is sometimes made with posortowane, the past passive participle of posortować, which specifically implies that sorting has been completed. In practical terms, Polish speakers may say “lista sortowana” (a list being sorted or sorted) or “dane sortowane alfabetycznie” (data sorted alphabetically) to convey the intended ordering.

See also: sortowanie (sorting), posortowany (sorted), sortowanie danych, algorytmy sortowania. These terms are commonly found in technical writing, computer science, and data processing contexts where ordering and arrangement of elements are discussed.
