Why alphabetical and numeric sorting can produce different results for the same list. For the full explanation, see Sorting Text Alphabetically and Numerically Explained.
| Sort Type | Input | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Alphabetical (lexicographic) | 10, 2, 1 | 1, 10, 2 |
| Numeric | 10, 2, 1 | 1, 2, 10 |
The Text Sorter sorts text alphabetically, numerically, or in reverse instantly.
Text Sorter
Alphabetic sorting compares text character by character. “1” comes before “2” as a character, regardless of what number the full string represents.
No. Sorting only reorders the list. Use a separate duplicate-removal step if you also need to deduplicate.
