Quick comparison
| If you need | Best choice | Alternative | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| A-Z ordering for quick review | Sort Lines | Remove Duplicate Lines | Sorting makes long lists easier to scan and compare. |
| Preserve original first-seen order | Remove Duplicate Lines | Sort Lines | Sorting intentionally changes order, so it is not ideal when original sequence matters. |
| Case transformation too | Case Converter | Sort Lines | Sort first or after, but case conversion solves a different text-cleanup need. |
Common mistakes
- Sorting a list before removing duplicates when you wanted unique output.
- Forgetting that uppercase and lowercase can affect alphabetical order in some workflows.
- Reordering lines that still needed to preserve their original sequence.
