Questions about sort lines
- Why did my numbers sort as text?
- Numeric order is only used when every line is a number, so a line that is not a number makes the list fall back to text order.
- Is the sort case sensitive by default?
- No, so a and A are treated as the same starting letter, which matches how people read a list.
- Does it trim whitespace first?
- No, lines are compared as written. Trim them first with the extra spaces remover if they carry stray spaces.
