Text Line Sorter

Sort alphabetically (A→Z or Z→A), numerically (for lines that start with numbers), by line length (shortest or longest first), or randomly. Case-sensitive and case-insensitive modes are available. Each line in the input becomes a sortable item.

Lines are sorted by their leading numeric value. '10' sorts after '9' in numeric mode (correct) but before '9' in alphabetical mode (incorrect, as '1' < '9' lexicographically). Use numeric sort whenever your lines represent quantities or version numbers.

Any text separated by a newline character (Enter key) is treated as one item. Blank lines are preserved and sorted as empty strings (which sort first or last depending on mode). Tab-separated columns within a line are treated as one unit.
