Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tool handle uppercase and lowercase letters?
You can toggle the Case Sensitive option. When active, uppercase letters (A-Z) are prioritized over lowercase letters (a-z). When disabled, the tool treats both as equal for a natural alphabetical flow.
What is the maximum file size for TXT uploads?
The tool processes text directly within your browser. While there is no hard limit, it is optimized for typical text files like keyword lists, logs, and code snippets up to several megabytes.
Are my data or uploaded files stored on your server?
No. All sorting occurs locally in your browser. Your text and file contents are never transmitted to our servers, ensuring your data remains private and secure.
Can I sort numerical lists with this tool?
The tool uses alphabetical sorting logic. For lists starting with numbers, it will sort them character by character (e.g., '10' will come before '2').
