What is the difference between keep first and keep last?

Keep first retains the earliest occurrence of each duplicate line; keep last keeps the final one.

Are empty lines removed?

Empty lines are treated as lines. Enable trim if whitespace-only lines should collapse.

Does it sort the output?

No. Original order is kept except for removed duplicate lines.
