Frequently Asked Questions About Sort Lines
How does numeric sorting work?
Numeric sorting detects numbers within each line and sorts them by their numeric value rather than alphabetically. For example, "Item 2" and "Item 10" will be sorted numerically instead of alphabetically where "Item 10" would come before "Item 2".
What is natural sort order?
Natural sort order (also called human sort) sorts text in a way that matches human expectations. It handles multi-digit numbers correctly within strings, so "text2" comes before "text10" — unlike pure alphabetical sorting.
Can I sort items randomly?
Yes. The Random shuffle mode will randomly rearrange your lines. Each click produces a different random order.
