Frequently asked questions
How are numbers sorted?
Sorting is alphabetical by character, so "10" comes before "2". Pad numbers with zeros (02, 10) if you need natural numeric order.
Is the random shuffle truly random?
It uses the browser’s random number generator — perfectly fine for draws, quizzes and randomizing lists.
Does sorting remove duplicates?
No — every line is kept. Use the Remove Duplicate Lines tool first if you want a deduplicated sorted list.
