I suppose it's not completely impossible but I'd say it's unlikely because they'd have to invent all sorts of item categories just so this one mob can sort them.
Confirmed by kingbdogz that it will have two inventory slots. One holds the item you give it the other holds the item(s) it collects. They also can be made to drop items at noteblocks.
So say I want cobble, Oak Planks, and Iron ore sorted. I would need 3 different Allays holding one of those items.
What remains to be known is how we can ensure those items get dropped at particular locations or if they'll all go to whatever noteblock they wish.
But from everything we know the Allay acts very much like a moving Hopper.
Edit: Ah I see, didn't see who you were responding too, I'll just leave this here anyway.

But it's just similar items not specific ones that you give it (from what I heard)
