I believe the answer is:

nerd

'dorky sort' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nerd that I've seen before include "Flag on poles; wide (headline)" , "Socially inept but knowledgeable person" , "knowledgable geek" , "Boring person" , "Geek, anorak (sl.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
