FAQs
Why can alphabetical and numeric sorting give different orders?
Alphabetical sorting compares text characters, while numeric sorting interprets numeric values. Choose the ordering that matches the data rather than assuming digit strings sort the same way in both modes.
Which inputs do I need for Sort Text Lines (Alphabetical A–Z, Z–A, Numeric, or by Length)?
Use Lines to Sort; Sort Order. The built-in examples show how those fields fit together.
What should I check before using this result?
Trims empty lines automatically. Check the assumptions and output against your intended task before relying on the result.
