Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sort in reverse (Z to A)?
This tool sorts ascending. For descending order, sort here then manually reverse the output. We may add a reverse option in a future update.
How are numbers sorted?
Lines are sorted as text, so "10" comes before "9" (because "1" < "9"). For natural numeric sorting, pad numbers with leading zeros first.
