Frequently asked questions

Does it sort numbers correctly, not just alphabetically?
There's a numeric-aware sort option, so "2" sorts before "10" instead of after it as it would in plain alphabetical order.
Is it free to use?
Yes, completely free.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No, sorting happens entirely in your browser.
Is sorting case-sensitive?
You can toggle case sensitivity depending on whether you want "Apple" and "apple" treated the same.
Can I remove duplicates while sorting?
Not built in โ€” combine it with Duplicate Line Remover or Text Deduplicator first if you need both.
