## FAQ

### Is sorting case-sensitive?

By default yes. Turn on "case-insensitive" and both sorting and dedupe treat cases as equal.

### Will it scramble paragraphs?

It works line by line and rebuilds from lines, so use sorting carefully if paragraph structure matters.

### Are my files or data uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.

### Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. The site is completely free, needs no account and has no usage limits.
