I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'types' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for sorts that I've seen before include "classes" , "Kinds" , "Places in correct or desired sequence" , "Classifies" , "Varieties" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
