Examples

1. Organizing File Names

System Administrator

Background

A list of file names like 'backup1.zip', 'backup10.zip', and 'backup2.zip' is appearing out of order.

Problem

Standard alphabetical sorting places 'backup10' before 'backup2'.

How to use

Paste the file list, select 'Alphabetical' sort, and ensure 'Natural Sort' is enabled.

sortBy: alphabetical, naturalSort: true

Outcome

The files are correctly ordered as backup1, backup2, ..., backup10.

2. Cleaning Mailing Lists

Marketing Coordinator

Background

A marketing list contains duplicate email addresses and inconsistent spacing.

Problem

The list is cluttered and contains redundant entries that need to be removed.

How to use

Paste the email list, enable 'Remove Duplicates' and 'Trim Lines', then sort alphabetically.

sortBy: alphabetical, removeDuplicates: true, trimLines: true

FAQ

What is the difference between alphabetical and natural sort?

Alphabetical sort treats numbers as characters (e.g., 1, 10, 2), while natural sort recognizes numerical values, placing 2 before 10.

Can I remove duplicate lines automatically?

Yes, enable the 'Remove Duplicates' checkbox to filter out identical lines during the sorting process.

Does the tool handle case sensitivity?

Yes, you can toggle 'Case Sensitive' to ensure uppercase and lowercase letters are treated distinctly during sorting.

Can I sort lines by their length?

Yes, select 'Line Length' in the 'Sort By' dropdown to order your text from the shortest to the longest line.

Is my data processed on a server?

This tool performs processing locally in your browser, ensuring your text data remains private and secure.
