Frequently asked questions
How does numeric sorting handle text mixed with numbers?
Numeric sort reads the first number it finds in each line and orders by that value. Lines without a number fall to the bottom, sorted alphabetically among themselves.
Can it sort while ignoring upper and lowercase?
Yes. With "Ignore case" enabled, "Apple" and "apple" sort together instead of all capitalized words coming first.
Does shuffle give a truly random order?
It uses a Fisher–Yates shuffle for an unbiased random order. Click Shuffle again for a fresh arrangement.
