Frequently Asked Questions
Does sorting change the content of my lines?
No. The sorter only rearranges the order of lines — it does not modify the content of individual lines. Each line is kept exactly as-is; only their position in the list changes based on alphabetical order.
How does alphabetical sorting handle numbers?
By default, alphabetical sorting treats numbers as characters: "10" comes before "2" because "1" comes before "2" alphabetically (lexicographic order). For proper numeric sorting (1, 2, 10 rather than 1, 10, 2), you would need a dedicated numeric sort tool.
Can I sort CSS properties alphabetically?
Yes. Some coding style guides and linters require CSS properties to be in alphabetical order for consistency. Paste your CSS properties (one per line), sort A→Z, then put them back in your stylesheet. This helps with code reviews and reduces merge conflicts in team projects.
