Why use numeric sort instead of alphabetical?

Alphabetical sorting compares character by character, so it places "10" before "2" because "1" comes before "2". Numeric sort reads each line as a number and orders by value, so 2 comes before 10 as you would expect. Use numeric mode whenever your lines are numbers or start with them.

What does case-insensitive sorting do?

It groups words together regardless of capitalisation, so "Banana", "apple" and "Cherry" sort as apple, Banana, Cherry rather than putting all the capitalised words first. With it off, uppercase letters sort ahead of lowercase ones, which can scatter related words apart.

Can it remove duplicates while sorting?

Yes. Switch on the dedupe option and identical lines are collapsed to one as the list is sorted, so you get a clean, ordered, unique list in a single step.
