Frequently Asked Questions

How are numbers versus text handled?

If both cells parse as numbers they compare numerically; otherwise the sort falls back to locale-aware text comparison, so mixed columns stay sensible.

Where do empty cells go?

Empty cells are treated as empty strings and sort to the top in ascending order. Filter them out first if you need them excluded.

Can I sort by date?

ISO dates (2026-01-31) sort correctly as text. Ambiguous formats like 31/01/2026 should be standardized first with the Standardize Dates tool.
