About Line Sort

Line Sort rearranges a block of text one line at a time. It can sort the input lines in ascending or descending order, or simply reverse their current order.

Ascending and descending order compare each whole line as a Unicode string. Reverse order does not change the text in each line; it only flips the order of the lines from top to bottom.

For example, when the following text is sorted in ascending order:

banana
apple
orange

The result is:

apple
banana
orange

Uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols, and non-Latin characters are compared as Unicode characters. The result is based on string comparison, not on natural-language dictionary order or numeric value.
