Sorted is a men's magazine with two iterations; one in 2004 and one in 2007.

Russell Church of Brighton founded a magazine in 2004 entitled Sorted[2] that was geared at teenage boys, but folded after only four editions were published.[3] However, Russell Church was a pioneer as regards linking print to digital and was quoted as saying in a Campaign Live interview, that; "The web will be key to Sorted's (www.sortedmag.com) strategy.[4]"

In 2007, Steve Legg of Littlehampton started publishing a bi-monthly magazine under the name Sorted.[5] It is an evangelical Christian publication, and states in its fundraising drives that it "helps bring the Gospel to men in prison, rehab and the armed forces.[6]"
