FAQ
How does alphabetical sort handle uppercase vs lowercase?
By default, uppercase letters sort before lowercase (ASCII order: 'Z' before 'a'). Enable the 'case-insensitive' option to sort 'apple' and 'Apple' together, treating them as equal.
Can I sort lines by a specific column?
This tool sorts entire lines. For column-based sorting (e.g., sort CSV by the second column), use a spreadsheet application or a more advanced text processing tool.
What is natural sort?
Natural sort orders numbers as humans would: file2.txt before file10.txt. Standard alphabetical sort puts file10.txt before file2.txt because '1' < '2'. This tool uses standard alphabetical sort.
