Re-reading the Subject line and post, I now realise you ask two rather different questions and I may not have answered the one you intended in my previous post. For me the terms "sort" and "organise" have distinctly different meanings.

"Sort" means place in an order determined by a fixed rule that can be implemented in software. In my previous post I was answering that question. (Of course, some sorts could be near impossible to implement in software as they might require a high level of artificial intelligence in the algorithm that determines the sort order.)

"Organise" means place in an arbitrary order determined by conditions and decisions that may vary over time. For organising only pinning is practical.

Or putting it another way, you need to be far more precise in your description of how you want to order your data and what the determining factors are.
