Question 1

Is text sorting safe?

Accepted Answer

Safe. Sorting is done locally in your browser, text never uploaded to any server.

Question 2

How does numeric sorting work?

Accepted Answer

When checked, the tool extracts the first number in each line and sorts numerically, so 9 comes before 100; when unchecked, it sorts lexicographically as strings, so 9 comes after 100. Lines without numbers are placed at the end.

Question 3

What sorting rule is used?

Accepted Answer

By default, it uses localeCompare to sort according to the current locale's dictionary order, handling multilingual characters well; it can be combined with options like ignore case, descending, remove duplicates, and remove empty lines.
