Frequently Asked Questions
Can it sort numbers correctly?
Yes. Select 'Numeric' sort order and numbers will be sorted by their value (e.g. 2 before 10) rather than alphabetically.
Does it remove blank lines when sorting?
Blank lines are treated as empty strings and sorted to the top or bottom. Use the 'Remove empty lines' tool first if you want them removed.
