The included file manager in Phosh Portfolio does not allow easy moving and sorting of documents. Are there other file managers that are phone friendly that provide the described workflow? I have thousands of documents to sort and doing some of this on the Pinephone when i am traveling without my laptop would help save time.

If you want to access on same folders in Pinephone and laptop (if I understanded correctly) you have few options:

https://github.com/viveris/uMTP-Responder
The uMTP-Responder allows files to be transferred to and from devices through the devices USB port.

Nextcloud or some other similar service which allows to share files trough web.
Nextcloud desktop works surprisingly well in mobile

And then you can also ssh/ftp trough wifi or even trough usb but I don't use these so I am not best person for advice.

There are no file managers where any of these works out of the box but if you setup uMTP Responder or Nextcloud and share the folders you want you can basicly use any file manager you want. IMO portfolio is best on mobile but Nautilus have some more features
