The following question was sent by one of the Chabura to Rav Ostroff:
If I have the five chumashim lying on top of each other on a table, would putting them in order (Breisheis, Shmos, etc.) on the bookshelf constitute borer (assuming the five chumashim piled up is a mixture)? On one hand they are being ordered; on the other hand they are all independent. Would it change the answer if they were already on the bookshelf, but in a mixed up order?
Rav Ostroff replied:
The first case is borer because you are sorting the seforim. Each one is noticeable, and besides, it is not really a mixture. If it is, let's compare it to a knife, fork and spoon sitting next to each other and you leave them like they are but in a different order. I don't think it's borer.
