The kind type (4)
I believe the answer is:
sort
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'the kind' is the first definition.
('sort' can be a synonym of 'kind')
'type' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for sort that I've seen before include "Arrange systematically" , "Put in order" , "'Variety, type (4)'" , "Shuffle into desired sequence" , "Kind, type or make" .)
