Frequently Asked Questions
How does the sorter handle bullet markers?
It strips the leading bullet (- , * , + , 1. , - [ ]) when comparing strings, ensuring items sort according to their actual text rather than the prefix.
Can I convert standard bullets into interactive task lists?
Yes! Simply select 'Tasks (- [ ])' from the marker dropdown and your bullet list will convert into GitHub Flavored Markdown task checkboxes.
Is deduplication case-sensitive?
By default, deduplication normalizes case to prevent subtle duplicates from slipping through.
