What sort modes are available?

The Text Sorter supports four modes: A→Z (ascending alphabetical), Z→A (descending alphabetical), shortest line first, and longest line first.

Yes. Lines that compare as equal (e.g., in a case-insensitive sort) maintain their original relative order.

Can I sort a CSV column?

If you paste a single column from a CSV (one value per line), the sorter will sort those values. For full multi-column CSV sorting, use a spreadsheet tool like Google Sheets.

Are blank lines included in the sort?

Blank lines are treated as empty strings and will sort to the top in ascending alphabetical order. You can remove blank lines first using the Text Cleaner tool.

Can I do a numeric sort (1, 2, 10 rather than 1, 10, 2)?

Yes. Enable "Numeric sort" mode to sort numbers by their numeric value rather than lexicographic order. This correctly orders 1, 2, 10, 20 rather than the alphabetical 1, 10, 2, 20.
