What is Sort Lines?
Sort Lines is a text manipulation tool that automatically arranges all lines of text in alphabetical order from A to Z. The sorting is case-insensitive, meaning 'Apple' and 'apple' are treated the same, and it processes each line independently.
Example:
Before:
Zebra Apple Mango Banana
After (A-Z):
Apple Banana Mango Zebra
