What is the Free Text Sorter?

The free Text Sorter organises any list of lines using multiple sort modes: A–Z (case-insensitive), A–Z (case-sensitive), Z–A, By length (short first), By length (long first), and Random shuffle. Paste in a list of names, URLs, keywords, or any line-by-line data and get a perfectly ordered result in milliseconds.

What is the difference between case-insensitive and case-sensitive sort?
Case-insensitive treats "Apple" and "apple" as equal, sorting them together. Case-sensitive places uppercase letters before lowercase (ASCII order), so "Cherry" comes before "apple".
Can the free Text Sorter sort numbers numerically?
No — it sorts lexicographically. "10" will come before "9" in a text sort. For numeric sorting, ensure all numbers are zero-padded to the same length.
