What is CSV Sort?

Header row is preserved at the top. Numeric mode parses each cell as a number; non-numeric cells fall through. Natural mode uses locale-aware comparison so '10' sorts after '2', not before.

FAQ

What is natural sort?
It treats numeric runs inside strings as numbers — so 'file2.txt' sorts before 'file10.txt' instead of after.
How do I select the column to sort by?
Choose the column from the dropdown menu and pick a sort mode: alphabetical, numeric, or natural.
Is the original CSV file modified?
No, sorting is non-destructive; a new sorted CSV is generated without altering the original file, all done locally.
