Sort to give info to America (5)
I believe the answer is:
genus
'sort' is the definition.
(genus is a kind of sort)
'give info to america' is the wordplay.
'give' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'info' becomes 'gen' (gen is a kind of info).
'to america' becomes 'us' (abbreviation for the United States).
'gen' put next to 'us' is 'GENUS'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for genus that I've seen before include "Division of family" , "Class of animal" , "Taxonomic category above species" , "Type" , "The Homo of Homo sapiens?" .)
