Sort /Sort out

[Nathalie22]

Hello,

'What happened with the booking problem...are you all (sorted /sorted out)?'

Which one shall I use and what's the difference between 'sorted' and 'sorted out'

Many thanks

"Sorted" means put in some type of order.

"Sorted out" is an idiomatic phrase that means "resolved" (a solution to the problem has been found).

In BrE 'sorted' is used, but both are OK

'That's sorted', 'Are you sorted?'
