What sort modes are available?

Alphabetical (A→Z), reverse alphabetical (Z→A), numerical ascending, and numerical descending. Numerical mode compares the numeric value at the start of each line.

What happens to lines that aren't numbers in numerical sort?

Lines with no leading number are treated as zero and sorted to the beginning of ascending results or end of descending results.

Does case-insensitive sorting change the output text?

No. It only affects the sort order — 'Apple' and 'apple' are grouped together — but the original casing of each line is preserved in the output.

Can I remove duplicates while sorting?

Yes. Enable the Remove duplicates option to keep only the first occurrence of each line after sorting.
