Natural orderNatural sort places file2 before file10, which often feels more human than plain alphabetic sorting.
Numeric modeNumeric sort uses the first number found on each line. Lines without numbers are placed after numeric lines.
Unique modeEnable unique lines to remove duplicates before sorting while keeping one copy.
FAQ
Can I sort numbers correctly?
Yes. Choose numeric sort to compare values as numbers instead of text.
Why is natural sort different from alphabetic sort?
Natural sort understands embedded numbers, so item2 comes before item10.
Can I remove duplicates while sorting?
Yes. Enable unique lines only to remove duplicate rows before sorting the output.
