Frequently Asked Questions
- How does numeric sort work?
- Each line is parsed as a number from its beginning. Lines starting with '10' come after '2'. Non-numeric lines sort to the top.
- Is the alphabetical sort case-sensitive?
- The sort uses locale-aware comparison, which typically groups uppercase and lowercase versions together ('a' near 'A').
- Can I sort by a specific column?
- This tool sorts by the full line content. For column-based sorting, export to a spreadsheet first.
- What does 'Reverse order' do?
- It flips the line order without any sorting — the last line becomes the first, and so on.
