What's the meaning of "sort" here? Please look at the picture. From "The Hobbit", Tolkien.

like "Kind" or "type"
for instance this would have the same meaning "There is little or no magic about them, except the ordinary everyday kind which helps them to disappear quietly and quickly."
I hope this helps
