Sort what writer might do? (4)
I believe the answer is:
type
'sort' is the definition.
(I know that type is a type of sort)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for type that I've seen before include "output, printed" , "Class, kind or category" , "Sort, variety" , "Sort, classification" , "Kind - press keys" .)
