Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Expecting numeric sort by default

Solution: Text sorting: "10" comes before "2". Use numeric sort option if available, or pad numbers with zeros (01, 02, 10).

⚠️

Case sensitivity issues

Solution: Uppercase comes before lowercase in ASCII: "Zebra" before "apple". Use case-insensitive option if needed.

⚠️

Not preserving related data

Solution: Sorting splits multi-line records. If line 2 belongs with line 1, combine them first or use proper data format (CSV).
