La tournure de sorte à signifie « de manière à, de façon à ».
Elle est correcte, mais elle ne figure pas dans tous les dictionnaires. Certains la considèrent comme archaïque :
- Souffre que je dise que tu n’as pas toujours agi de sorte à dissiper leur malheureuse erreur. (A. France)
- S’il croit devoir faire la guerre, il la continuera de sorte à s’assurer un triomphe. (Chateaubriand)
