In this context, "sort of" means "slightly", "a little". Ex: I am sort of hungry. Ex: I feel sort of tired. "Sort of" also is just a filler word that doesn't have any specific meaning. "Sort of" does not have any rules where to be put in the sentence, so you can use anywhere you want. Ex: I was thinking sort of doing the same thing.
