Simulate a rule collection filter step that returns both the items that do match the rule, and the items that do not match the rule.

## Explanation

Normally, a rule collection filter step only returns the items that match your rule. This flow simulates a filter step that returns two collections: Both of the collection that satisfies the filter rule, as well as the collection that does not satisfy the filter rule. First, two empty lists are initialized, then a for each step iterates through every item on the input list. A rule determines which list to add it to, and then keeps going until all items have been sorted.
