Pragmatic sort (7)
I believe the answer is:
realist
'pragmatic sort' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for realist that I've seen before include "One seeing things as they are" , "One who sees things in a practical way" , "One's practically inclined" , "Pragmatic type" , "no dreamer" .)
