Frequently asked questions

Can I sort and remove duplicates at once?

Yes — enable 'remove duplicates' along with your chosen sort order.

Does it sort case-sensitively?

By default it's case-insensitive; untick the option for case-sensitive sorting.

How do I sort numbers correctly?

Use the numeric option (or the natural sort), so 'item2' comes before 'item10' instead of after it.

Can I reverse the order?

Yes — pick Z→A, or 'reverse as-is' to flip the current order without sorting.

Will it keep or strip blank lines?

You choose — 'strip blank lines' is on by default but can be turned off.
