Does the definition of 'later use' (l'achar z'man) differ between sorting food-from-waste and sorting two types of food?
Synopsis
The Aruch HaShulchan and Biur Halacha note that the Rambam/Mechaber use different language for the two cases, suggesting that 'later use' for food-from-waste means even a short delay, while for two food types it means from one meal to another (morning to afternoon).
