How does numeric sort work?

When enabled, lines that parse as numbers are ordered by value instead of lexicographic string order.

Will blank lines be sorted to the top?

Empty lines are kept unless you remove them in a separate cleaning step.

Can I sort Unicode text?

Yes. Sorting uses JavaScript localeCompare with your browser locale.
