Usually they try to sort people although it's somewhat limited by the type of accommodation people get assigned/apply for and different universities will put different things first when it comes to assigning flats, e.g. a lot will try to make sure none of you are on the same course.
I think a lot of unis do 'sharing preferences' in theory. But people aren't always accurate about their lifestyle (e.g. saying they will be quiet then making some friends and partying a lot) and it's going to be too big of a job to get it right for everyone. I went to Loughborough and I'm pretty sure you gave your preferences e.g. quiet, clean, smoker etc but from what I saw they didn't take it into account at all!
