Alphabetical order FAQ
What is natural order sorting?
Natural order reads numbers inside text as numbers, so "item 2" sorts before "item 10". A plain alphabetical sort would put "item 10" first because "1" comes before "2" character by character.
Can I sort a list from Z to A?
Yes, choose the Z to A option and the same list sorts in reverse alphabetical order.
What does shuffle do?
Shuffle puts the lines in a random order each time, which is useful for randomizing a list of names, prizes or quiz questions.
Is sorting case sensitive?
Case insensitive sorting is on by default, so "apple" and "Apple" sort next to each other. Turn it off to sort capital letters strictly before lower case ones.
