Frequently Asked Questions
Does sorting consider uppercase and lowercase letters differently?
Sorting groups text in a standard alphabetical order; depending on the implementation, uppercase and lowercase versions of the same letter are treated as equivalent for ordering purposes.
Can I sort numbers as well as text?
Yes, lines containing numbers will be sorted as text by default, meaning '10' may sort before '2' since sorting is based on character order rather than numeric value — keep this in mind for purely numeric lists.
Will sorting remove blank lines?
Blank lines are typically preserved in their relative position unless you remove them manually before sorting.
Can I reverse the sort order after sorting?
Yes, simply click the opposite sort direction (Z-A after A-Z, or vice versa) to reverse the current order.
