She divides them into to different... I don't know... piles?
- She divides them into to different...
- I don't know...
- piles?
- Bins?

What do you mean by "Classifies sounds more li

A scientist can classify animals without touching them.
If I say "Jean classifies nuts" I would think that Jean says "that's from the same famliy as almonds" and "that's a legume."
If I say "Jean sorts nuts" I would think that Jean works on an assembly line, putting the pecans in one bin, the walnuts in another, etc.
Does that make any more sense?
