Question 1

What sorting options are available?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How does numeric sorting work?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What defines a 'line' for sorting purposes?

Accepted Answer

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.
