A sorting problem involves the assignment of a set of alternatives described over a set of attributes (criteria) in two or more predefined classes. This type of decision problems has been extensively studied by academic researchers mainly from the deterministic point of view. This paper presents a multicriteria method for the study of sorting problems considering the uncertain environment in which the decisions are taken. An analytic description of the proposed method is presented along with a simple illustrative example.
