Absolutely. That’s part of step 1, because sorting can’t reasonably happen until you’ve decided what to sort for. And it’s true that a kitchen, for instance, may serve multiple purposes: food preparation, food consumption, reading nook, discussion forum, etc. – so the first step will require determining which of those purposes are primary, which are secondary (or could be moved), and whether it makes sense to separate the tools for these disparate purposes into, say, different drawers or just lay them out so their location is amenable to all designated purposes.
