Frequently asked questions
How does alphabetical sorting work?
The tool sorts each line as a complete unit, comparing them alphabetically. In ascending mode (A-Z), lines starting with "A" appear first. In descending mode (Z-A), it's reversed.
Does it respect uppercase and lowercase?
The sorting ignores differences between uppercase and lowercase, treating "Apple" and "apple" as equivalent for alphabetical order.
Can I sort numbers?
Yes, but keep in mind they are sorted alphabetically, not numerically. For example, "10" will appear before "2" because "1" comes before "2" in alphabetical order.
Does it work with accents and special characters?
Yes, the tool correctly handles accents (á, é, í), ñ and other special characters from Spanish and other languages.
Are empty lines removed?
No, empty lines are preserved and appear at the beginning of the sorted text.
