Common errors

The user expects duplicates to be removed as well as sorted.

Fix: Use a duplicate-removal or unique-lines tool separately if needed.

The input is comma-separated instead of line-based.

Fix: Split the content into lines first if you want line sorting.

Unexpected order appears because of spaces or mixed formatting.

Fix: Clean the text first if formatting affects the sort result.
