Moving water quickly sorts sediments according to their size and weight. A flowing river that experiences a raging flood may have an unsorted mess on its hands for a short while, but afterward, the sorting process will normalize. That said, you rarely see a river carried boulder in a delta, do you?

Where does a River erode sediment?
sediments are transported by ocean rift, streams, river currents, wind (air). they are deposited according to size. The largest sediments are deposited first. The sediments settle into the sand and are carried by the stream. Near the mouth of the stream where the water moves slowly the small sediments settle out. The larger sediments get carried by the river into the sea then the samller sediments. The sea water dissolved minerals and soak the sediments and cement together. This eventually forms sediments.
