Frequently Asked Questions

What sorting options are available?

You can sort lines alphabetically in ascending (A-Z) or descending (Z-A) order, sort by line length (shortest to longest or vice versa), or completely randomize the order using the shuffle feature.

Does case sensitivity affect sorting?

Yes, when "Case sensitive" is unchecked (default), "apple" and "Apple" are treated the same for sorting. When checked, uppercase letters come before lowercase, so "Apple" would come before "apple".

Can I sort numbers and special characters?

Absolutely! The tool sorts any text including numbers, special characters, and mixed content. Numbers are sorted numerically when sorting by length, and textually when sorting alphabetically.

What happens to empty lines?

By default, empty lines are removed during sorting. You can uncheck "Remove empty lines" to keep them, though they'll typically appear at the beginning or end depending on the sort order.
