}Frequently Asked Questions
Case-sensitive sorting considers uppercase and lowercase letters as different characters. For example, "Apple" would come before "banana" because uppercase letters are sorted before lowercase letters.
When "Remove duplicates" is checked, identical items will only appear once in the output. This is useful for creating clean, unique lists.
Yes, the tool uses natural sorting for numbers. This means "2" will come before "10" instead of being sorted as text where "10" would come first.
The "Strip HTML" option removes all HTML tags from the text while preserving the content inside them. For example, "
Hello
" becomes "Hello". Use the "Ignore punctuation" option to sort items without considering special characters. This helps create more natural sorting results.
