Frequently Asked Questions

Natural Sort handles numbers intelligently, ordering "item2" before "item10" as humans would expect. Machine Sort treats text as raw characters, placing "item10" before "item2" because "1" comes before "2" alphabetically. Use Natural Sort for lists with numbers, Machine Sort for strict alphabetical ordering.

Select "Comma" as your input separator in the sorting options. The tool will split your comma-separated values into individual items, sort them, and you can choose any output separator (new line, comma, semicolon, etc.) for the result.

Yes, enable the "Remove Duplicates" option before sorting. This will eliminate all duplicate entries from your list while sorting. Combined with "Ignore Case," it will also remove duplicates that differ only in capitalization (treating "Apple" and "apple" as the same).
