Frequently Asked Questions
Is sorting case‑sensitive?
By default, sorting follows standard locale‑sensitive rules where uppercase and lowercase are treated as distinct unless explicitly normalized. For consistent ordering, you may want to convert your list to lowercase before sorting.
Can I sort numeric values?
The length‑based sorting is purely based on character count; for true numeric sorting, each line should contain only a number. Alphabetical sorting will order numbers as strings (e.g., "10" before "2"). We plan to add numeric sorting in the future.
