Arrange numerically, perhaps

Answer:

SORT

Hint:

Organize data from lowest to highest to make sense of it.

Explanation:

"Arrange numerically" hints at putting things in order, like sorting a list. The word "perhaps" suggests this is just one way to interpret "sort," which can also mean to organize or classify. The clue plays on the double meaning of "sort"—both as a verb (to arrange) and as a general term for organizing, with "numerically" nudging you toward the idea of ordering.
