It was once capital of the County of Pallars.
The origin of the name predates the Roman period and has a different origin from the concept of sort -Catalan for “luck”-. Sort is a toponym of Basque origin, from the word sort, or suert, which meant bridge, referring to the only important bridge that crossed the Noguera Pallaresa river.
The municipality includes the small village of Olp.
