Cat 1- Highly/Completely Sorted (At least 2 identical characteristics, most other char. similar (ex: a 3' and 6' power cable). Things get to this point either through a combination of rote labor and process, or because a large lot of presorted goods is donated. These goods often become "legacy" sorted, which is to say, we continue to sort them because they are now. This type of sort happens in response to the item being commonly requested, or because of an over-zealous volunteer.
