Bad example.   The Cambridge on-line dictionary doesn't say that it's
either an Americanism or a neologism.  In fact they have a "UK"
pronunciation with a really plummy (presumably Cambridge) accent.  I
think it is standard modern English, in use by the Pommy Bastards as
well.

My American-born, ancestors-came-on-the-Mayflower, husband assures me
that "sorted" is a Britishism, never before heard on these shores.  I
think I learned it in Oz.  Maybe it is now old-people speak.
