Ideological sorting is the idea that there is now less ideological diversity within each of the two major political parties today, because conservatives have largely sorted themselves into the Republican party and liberals into the Democratic party. Because of the reduced ideological overlap between the two parties, it is more difficult to reach cross-party compromises and form cross-party coalitions.
