Notes

If you add multiple levels, it will sort by level 1 then level 1 values that are the same will be sorted by level 2 etc.

Number, date and text values are treated differently for comparison purposes.

Any values that can be converted to numbers will be treated as numbers.

Any values that match the supported date formats in Preferences will be treated as dates.

Comparisons of text are case and whitespace sensitive. You can use Case to change the case and Whitespace to remove whitespace before sorting.
