That depends on the type of sugar. Some sugar is man made, and is not organic. Other types of sugar like glucose are organic.

Most sugars are processed from minerals and natural flavoring

In Science, sugar is called an "organic" molecule because it is contructed of carbon-based chains containing hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Such chains are known as "carbohydrates".

From the Related link shown below:
"Carbohydates are any of a group of organic compounds that includes sugars, starches, celluloses, and gums and serve as a major energy source in the diet of animals. These compounds are produced by photosynthetic plants and contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, usually in the ratio 1:2:1."

No. Sugar contains carbon covalently bonded to hydrogen, and by definition that makes it an organic compound.
