Frequently asked questions

Does it keep the original order?

By default it keeps the first occurrence of each line in its original order. Enable sorting if you prefer alphabetical output.

Can it ignore differences in capitalization?

Yes. Turn on "ignore case" so that Apple and apple are treated as the same line.

Is it good for cleaning email lists?

Yes — enable trim and ignore-case to catch duplicates that differ only by stray spaces or capitalization.
