Questions
Which copy of a repeated line is kept?
The first one. With Keep order, the output follows the order of first appearance. Sorting happens after duplicates are removed.
What does Ignore case change?
With Ignore case on, Apple and apple count as the same line, and the version that appears first is kept.
How is Numbers sorting different?
Numbers sorts with numeric comparison, so item 2 comes before item 10. A to Z uses ordinary text order.
Is my list sent anywhere?
No. Duplicates are found in your browser, and the list is not stored.
