Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I process lists with thousands of items?
- Yes — the tool handles lists with thousands of lines efficiently. The browser may slow down at very large lists (100,000+ lines).
- Does sorting handle numbers correctly?
- The alphabetical sort treats numbers as characters ('10' before '2'). For natural numeric sorting, ensure consistent padding (e.g., '02' instead of '2').
