Numeric vs alphabetical sorting

Alphabetical sorting puts 10 before 2 because it compares characters. This tool reads the first number in each line and compares values, so 2 comes before 10, which is what you want for prices, versions, and measurements.

Lines without numbers

Lines that contain no number cannot be compared numerically, so they are moved to the end in their original order, keeping your data intact instead of dropping them.
