Frequently asked questions

What does Sort numbers do?

Sort a list of numbers in ascending or descending order.

When would I actually use this?

Cleaning up a paste before it goes anywhere: stripping duplicates from a list, normalising case, removing accents for a filename, or sorting lines.

What is the most common mistake?

Sorting text as if it were ASCII. Accented letters land after Z in a byte sort, which puts "Zurich" before "Émile" and produces a list no reader will accept.

How is Sort numbers different from Sort lines by length?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Sort lines by length is the one to open when you need it to sort lines from shortest to longest, or the other way round. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Sort lines is the closest one after this: Sort lines alphabetically, remove duplicates and trim whitespace.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Add line numbers and Increment numbers — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Transformations use the browser's Unicode-aware string handling, so case changes and sorting respect the locale rather than byte order. Nothing is truncated: what comes out is the whole of what went in.
