Good to know
ABC Order sorts lines using locale-aware comparison so accented letters fall in natural places. Optional controls let you reverse the direction, number the sorted lines, or remove duplicate lines while sorting.
Frequently asked questions
Is the sort case-sensitive?
By default capitalisation is ignored, so Apple and apple sort next to each other rather than in separate blocks.
Can ABC Order number the results?
Yes. Turn on numbering and each sorted line is prefixed with its position in the ordered list.
Can it drop duplicates while ordering?
Yes. The dedupe option removes repeated lines so the alphabetical list contains each entry once.
