Frequently Asked Questions

Is Text Sorter free to use?

Yes, it's completely free with no signup required.

Is sorting case-sensitive?

Yes, always — alphabetical sorting uses standard character-code order, so uppercase letters sort before lowercase ones. There's no toggle to change this.

Can I sort numbers numerically?

Not specifically — lines are sorted as text, so "10" would sort before "9" alphabetically. There's no dedicated numeric sort mode.

Is my data private?

Yes, all sorting happens locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
