Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Line Sorter work?
The tool splits your text on newlines into an array, then sorts using JavaScript's Array.sort() with a custom comparator for each mode. Alphabetical uses localeCompare() for proper Unicode ordering, numeric parses each line as a float with parseFloat() to compare values mathematically, and length mode compares string .length properties. Reverse modes simply negate the comparator return value.
What sort methods are available?
Alphabetical (A-Z or Z-A), numeric (smallest to largest or reverse), and by line length (shortest to longest or reverse). Each mode handles its data type correctly.
Does numeric sort handle numbers correctly?
Yes. Numeric sort compares values mathematically, not as text. This means 2 comes before 10, unlike alphabetical sort where "10" would come before "2" because "1" comes before "2".
Can I sort and remove duplicates at the same time?
You can sort here and then use the Remove Duplicates tool to clean the sorted list. Both tools work instantly.
