Frequently Asked Questions
How does it handle uppercase vs lowercase?
Default ASCII sort puts capitals before lowercase. Toggle case-insensitive to mix them.
Tip: Case-insensitive matches typical user expectations.
Where do numbers sort?
In ASCII order, digits come before letters. '1' sits before 'A'.
Tip: Use natural sort for 'item 2' to come before 'item 10'.
What about accented characters?
ASCII sort puts é after z. Locale-aware sort puts é near e.
Tip: Enable locale-aware sort for international rosters.
Can I sort a CSV column?
Yes, paste a single column. For multi-column sorts, use a spreadsheet.
Tip: Extract one column first if you have a full CSV.
Are duplicates preserved?
Yes, duplicates stay in the sorted output.
Tip: Run Remove Duplicate Lines first for unique sorted entries.
Where do empty lines end up after sorting?
Empty lines bubble to the top in A-Z order.
Tip: Useful for spotting blank rows in pasted CSV exports.
