Word/Number Sorter

There's a hallucinating diversity of everything in the modern world, and there's a high chance every domain of activity relies on some kind of lists. Even grocery shopping is best done based on a list, and in case you want to organize it, specialized applications like Word/Number Sorter help do this with little effort.

One of the main advantages is that you can launch the application as soon as the setup process is done, thus not taking you through an installer. This makes it possible to carry it around on a thumb drive to use on other computers. No traces are left on the target PC, because registry entries are not altered during runtime.

As far as the visual design is concerned, the application relies on a classic window frame, with a simple layout which makes accommodation a walk in the park. More than that, pop-up windows gradually show up with information on what to do next, as well as requirement fields. Sadly, a lot of space is wasted and the window can't be resized.

Unfortunately, input proves a pain, especially if the list you want to sort is large. This is because every item on the list needs to be added one at a time, because there are no import options to at least read text from a plain TXT file to have them sorted. What's more, focus needs to be manually switched from the edit field to the confirmation buttons, and back.

You're free to add both numbers and text as input. The result is shown in the main window, with numbers having first priority. There's no option to add bullets, and the application automatically sorts in an ascending order, with no option to at least change this method.

All things considered, we can state that Word/Number Sorter comes with good intentions, but it takes a crucial amount of time to manually input all entries before you can sort them. Only one sorting method is used, with no import or export options other than manually copying all values to clipboard.
