Daily Halacha - Is It Permitted to Sort Two Types Together?

Regarding the prohibition of sorting (borer), it is forbidden to separate one type from another. Are large and small fruits considered as two different types?

Large and small fruits are considered as one type, therefore if someone has a bag full of large and small peaches, the laws of borer do not apply here. One may remove them in any way desired.

However, two different types of fish, or a fish that has spoiled and one that has not, are considered as two different types, and it is only permitted to sort one from the other for immediate consumption.

Is it permitted to sort two types together?

If someone has a bag of fruits and takes several types together, this does not fall under the prohibition of borer since one is not separating one type from another (Rema 319:3).
