Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Natural Sort?
- Natural Sort treats embedded numbers as numeric values rather than raw characters (e.g. file2.txt comes before file10.txt).
- Can I sort lines by their character length?
- Yes! Select the "By Length" sort option to arrange lines from shortest to longest.
