What type of output does the Sort Tool generate in Alteryx?

The Sort Tool in Alteryx is specifically designed to arrange data in a particular order based on the values of selected fields. When utilized, it processes the incoming data and produces an output that is organized according to the user-defined sorting criteria, such as ascending or descending order. This means that if you select a column, the Sort Tool will rearrange the data rows to reflect the order dictated by that column's values.

The other options represent different types of data transformations. A flattened data set involves reducing data complexity by combining related records into a single row. A joined data set is produced using tools that merge data from different sources based on common fields. An aggregated data set summarizes or groups data based on specified criteria, often calculating totals, averages, or other statistics. However, none of these functionalities pertain to the role of the Sort Tool, which focuses solely on organizing data rather than transforming or summarizing it.
