Do your own sorting
Hi
Is this natural English? Any suggestions please?
About our services at the hotel we receive all sorts of feedback. Then we do your own sorting, which one to pay attention to and which one to ignore completely.
Thanks,
Tom

It seems odd to put the propositional phrase that applies to 'feedback' at the opposite end of the sentence. And don't you mean "we do our own sorting"? I can do my own sorting; you can do your own sorting; I can do your sorting; you can do my sorting; but I can't do your own sorting, and you can't you my own sorting.

- It's the reflexive function of 'own' that is violated when you mix in that way, as when I can see myself, and I can see you, but I can't see yourself, and so on.
- I'd use an em-dash after "sorting".
