To my ear not only do these two words sound similar but they seem to me to be related. You may even see them as opposites. At the very least you can infer that a person who is sordid will not be very sorted at the truest level of what it means to be well balanced.
Often we see tidiness akin to cleanliness, and I can understand why.

If nothing else we ought to try and pronounce the words we are using so that the confusion won't exist.
You could say, My friend is sordid. Or speaking about a future engagement that has terribly gone wrong because the person you were booking the entertainment and venue through turns out to be a child molester. So a friend asks( not knowing of the sordid affair) how the plans are going and you reply, "It's sordid", But your friend hears, "It's sorted" and figures you have all the details worked out.

The problem arises from a situation where a bunch of scum bags are meticulously planning some vile event and then they would have to say, "the sordid affair is sorted."
