Depends on how you want to sort them. Are they all different types? The command line is very handy for that.

example:

C:\>mkdir JPEGS writtendocs spreadsheets
C:\>cd huge_folder
C:\huge_folder\>move *.jpg ../JPEGS
C:\huge_folder\>move *.doc ../writtendocs
C:\huge_folder\>move *.xls ../spreadsheets

There is a free graphical tool to perform similar operations, suitably named File Sort, which can help you sort by file name, age, and size:
