Frequently asked questions
Can Sort Lines handle non-English text?
Yes — it uses Unicode-standard rules that work for most major scripts.
Will Sort Lines work offline?
Yes — once the page loads, processing happens locally with no further network calls.
Can I trust the count for assignment / SEO purposes?
Sort Lines matches the published Unicode standard. Cross-check against the tool of record (Word, your CMS) if that's what's being graded against.
Does Sort Lines count characters with or without spaces?
Sort Lines shows both counts simultaneously, so you can use whichever your target requires.
