How does numeric sort handle non-numbers?

Numeric sort reads each line as a number using its leading digits; lines that don't start with a valid number are pushed to the end of the list, after every line that does parse as a number.

What does case-sensitive sorting change?

With case-sensitivity off (the default), "Apple" and "apple" sort next to each other. With it on, uppercase letters sort before lowercase ones, matching plain string comparison — so "Zebra" would sort before "apple".

Does it remove blank lines?

Yes, when "Trim & drop blanks" is checked (on by default) — leading/trailing whitespace is trimmed from every line and empty lines are dropped before sorting.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. Sorting happens entirely client-side in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored.
