Alphabetical vs. numeric: why they're not the same
If you sort a list of numbers alphabetically, "10" ends up before "2", because the comparison happens character by character. The numeric mode of this tool reads the actual value on each line instead (thousands separators like the comma in "1,000" are fine) and sorts from smallest to largest; lines that don't contain a number are moved to the bottom without changing their order relative to each other. Alphabetical sorting follows English collation rules, so accented letters such as é, à, and ü are handled correctly too.
What random order is good for
Shuffling lines comes in handy more often than you'd think: picking the order in which students get called on, assigning presentation slots in a meeting, drawing the starting lineup for a tournament, or reshuffling quiz questions. The tool uses the Fisher-Yates algorithm, which gives every line an equal chance of landing in any position — press the button again for a fresh draw.
