About Line Sorting

Features

Alphabetical Sorting: Sort lines A-Z or Z-A
Case-Sensitive: Option to treat uppercase and lowercase differently
Natural Sorting: Intelligently sorts numbers within text (e.g., "file2.txt" comes before "file10.txt")
Remove Duplicates: Optionally filter out duplicate lines
Remove Blanks: Automatically remove empty lines
Statistics: View counts of total, unique, duplicate, and blank lines

Sorting Modes

Standard Alphabetical

Default sorting uses case-insensitive alphabetical order:

apple
Apple
banana
Cherry

Natural Sorting

Natural sort handles numbers intelligently:

file1.txt
file2.txt
file10.txt
file20.txt

Without natural sort: file1, file10, file2, file20

Use Cases

Organize lists of names, items, or categories
Sort file names or directory listings
Clean up and alphabetize data exports
Remove duplicate entries from lists
Prepare sorted data for import into other systems

Tips

Natural Sort: Enable this when sorting file names or text containing numbers
Case-Sensitive: Use when capitalization matters (e.g., programming identifiers)
Duplicates: Remove duplicates to create unique lists
Keyboard Shortcut: Press Ctrl+Enter in the text area to sort quickly
