What is Text Sorting?
Text sorting is the process of arranging lines of text in a specific sequence. This is essential for organizing data, creating indexed lists, and cleaning up content for easier readability and analysis.
Alphabetical vs Numerical Sorting
Alphabetical sorting (lexicographical) follows the order of letters, while numerical sorting arranges lines based on the numbers they contain. Natural sorting is a smarter version that recognizes numbers within strings, ensuring "Item 2" appears before "Item 10".

- Data Preparation: Arranging log entries or CSV data for analysis.
- SEO Tasks: Organizing keyword lists to find patterns or remove redundancies.
