What's the difference between case-sensitive and case-insensitive sorting?

Case-sensitive sorting treats uppercase and lowercase letters differently (A before a), while case-insensitive sorting ignores case differences for more intuitive alphabetical ordering.

How does numeric sorting work?

Numeric sorting recognizes numbers at the beginning of lines and sorts them by numerical value (1, 2, 10, 20) rather than alphabetically (1, 10, 2, 20).

Can I sort very large lists?

Yes, the tool handles large text files efficiently. However, extremely large files (100,000+ lines) may take a moment to process depending on your device.
