Overview

Line Workbench keeps multi-line lists organized by sorting, deduplicating, and numbering entries. It is built for maintaining checklists, environment variables, or documentation indexes without leaving the browser.

Use Cases

Organize dependency or import lists

Sort package names or import statements alphabetically to reduce merge conflicts and review noise.

Deduplicate configuration or policy entries

Remove duplicate environment variables or access rules while preserving the first occurrence.

Annotate logs and transcripts

Add zero-padded line numbers before sharing log snippets with QA, support, or engineering teams.

Prepare publishable checklists

Ensure editorial or onboarding checklists are sorted and unique before distributing to teammates.

How to Use

  1. Select line operation

    Choose ascending sort, descending sort, unique lines, or line numbering depending on your goal.

  2. Provide multi-line input

    Paste data from editors, terminals, or spreadsheets. Blank lines are preserved.

  3. Export the organized output

    Copy the result or rerun with a different mode to compare ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is sorting performed?

Sorting relies on String.localeCompare with the default locale, providing predictable alphabetical ordering for most scripts.

Is uniqueness case-sensitive?

Yes. Duplicate detection treats letters with different casing as distinct. Convert to a consistent case first if needed.

How are line numbers formatted?

Numbers are zero-padded based on the total number of lines so alignment stays tidy.
