String Sort

Text data and strings often can contain series of entries, be it numerical, alphabetical or both at the same time, sorted or not. Those who work with large volumes of text strings can perform sorting operations manually, but, sooner or later they might require a more capable solution. String Sort is an app designed specifically for sorting text data or removing duplicates from text entries with ease, through a syntax-based operation.

Thanks to the uncluttered, re-sizable interface, users will be able to add their text strings with ease, by copy-pasting them from the source. However, the app does not feature automatic detection of the copied content, which could be considered as a minor weakness.

The entered text can only be added in the taken order, and later formatting is not available. The app offers several sorting options, such as regular (hierarchical, both for numerical or alphabetical strings), reverse order, random or even case sensitive.

All the sorting operations are initialized by inputting the provided syntax, which is adequately documented in the app’s dedicated help section. This can sometimes be time-consuming, as one needs to input the corresponding letters for the various sorting types manually.

Besides the app’s primary function, it can also be used for removing duplicates from the entered text data. Strings that contain delimiting characters are also supported for the sorting process, as indicating these special characters establishes the start and end of each entry.

This compact software solution is not the most impressive in terms of on-screen features or design, but it manages to provide a decent job at sorting text entries fast and effectively. Thanks to its syntax-based operation, tech-savvy users will have no trouble whatsoever working with it.
