What happens if numbers and letters are mixed?

In "Numeric" mode, any item that can't be converted to a number is treated as 0. For text lists, use "Ascending/Descending" instead.

How does duplicate removal work?

Checking "Remove duplicates" merges only lines that are exactly identical.

Is my list sent to a server?

No. Sorting happens entirely in your browser.

Why does 10 sort before 2?

String ordering compares the first character — "1" precedes "2". Enable numeric sort for size order.

Are blank lines sorted too?

Empty lines are cleaned up with trimming. Re-add them after sorting if needed.

Example

Input

banana
Cherry
apple
banana

blueberry

Output

apple
banana
blueberry
Cherry

Ascending sort with "Remove duplicates" and "Remove blank lines" enabled. The duplicate banana and the empty line are dropped, and the case-insensitive ordering places Cherry after blueberry.

Sorting options explained

Sort and tidy a line-based list by several criteria.

Option	What it does
Ascending / descending	Alphabetical or chosen-criterion ordering
Deduplicate	Keep only one of each repeated line
Trim whitespace	Strips edge spaces — improves sort and dedupe accuracy
Ignore case	Treats Apple and apple as equal
Numeric sort	By number size — plain text sort puts 10 before 2
