Is it permissible to sort spoiled grapes from a cluster?
One should not sort spoiled grapes from the cluster; rather, one should pick and eat the good grapes and leave the spoiled ones (Chazon Ovadia 4, p. 179).
Is it permissible to organize cutlery in drawers after washing them?
It is permissible to organize cutlery, each in its designated drawer, and this does not constitute the prohibited act of sorting (borer), since some authorities state that the prohibition of sorting only applies to products that grow from the ground. Additionally, there is no issue of separating food from waste since all items are equally valuable in this case (Chazon Ovadia 4, p. 204).
