The Sock Sorting Hierarchy

A comprehensive guide to categorizing your socks into a logical and efficient order.

Category Sock Type
1. Matched Pairs Identical in color and pattern
2. Socks with Siblings Identical in pattern, different in size
3. Loners Unique in pattern, but matched with others of same type
4. Orphans Single, unmatched, and often found in the dark depths of the sock drawer
5. Socks in the Wild Lost, scattered, and often found in the most unlikely of places

Remember, a sock sorting hierarchy is only as good as the person implementing it.
