Sort arranges records in a specific order based on keys within each record, such as alphabetically or numerically. Filter produces a new data structure containing only elements that meet a given criteria, such as returning true for a given predicate. While different, the terms are often used interchangeably by users who may not fully understand the distinction. However, this confusion does not significantly impact users as filter has evolved to be generally intuitive and user-friendly in applications.
