Tips & Best Practices
Tip 1
Standard alphabetic sorting treats '10' as coming before '2'. Use Numeric Sort if you have actual numbers.
Tip 2
Sorting is case-insensitive for natural reading.

How text sorting works
This tool uses standard local string comparison (localeCompare) to order your text naturally. This ensures that special characters and accents are handled correctly based on standard language rules.
Alpha vs Numeric Sorting
By default, computer logic sorts alphabetically, meaning '10' is sorted before '2' because '1' comes before '2'. Our Numeric Sort option forces the tool to parse the text as real numbers to prevent this common issue.
