Sorting Games after Use

40. Jumbled. If children played with different types of toys in a room and they are in a jumble on the floor, one may not sort them and put each one in its intended spot, as that is a problem of borer for later. Similarly, game pieces may not be sorted by color after their use, as that is borer for later.

41. Scattered. However, if the games are scattered across the floor such that they are not considered a mixture, one may pick them up and return them to their spots or sort them, as there is no issur of borer for items that are not in a mixture (ארחות שבת פ''ג אות י''ב ).
