What this developer tool does

Sort CSV rows by up to three columns using text, numeric, date, boolean, or natural comparison rules.

The browser parses the input, applies the selected transformation, validates detectable structural issues, and generates copy-ready output without uploading the source data.

Processing is local to this page. Always validate critical output in the target application, runtime, or database engine.

Example

Use the preloaded sample, change one option, and run the tool to compare the generated result.

Tips for better output

Test with a representative sample before processing a large production file.
Keep an original backup before replacing source data.
Review warnings instead of treating formatted output as full semantic validation.
