Does the sorter handle non-English characters?

Yes. Alphabetical sorts use the browser's Intl-aware localeCompare with base sensitivity by default, so accents and diacritics sort the way a native reader would expect. Turn on case sensitivity for a strict codepoint sort instead.

What happens to blank lines?

By default blank lines are removed before sorting. Uncheck "Remove blank lines" to keep them — they will sort to the top in alphabetical mode and to the start in length-based modes.

How does length sorting break ties?

Lines with the same length keep their original relative order (a stable sort). This is useful when you want to group by length without reshuffling lines that already share an order.

Is there a limit on list size?

Practically no. Sorts are done client-side with the browser's native Array.sort, so even a hundred-thousand-line list completes in milliseconds on a modern laptop.
