Frequently Asked Questions

What sort orders are available?

Our tool supports 2 different sort orders: ascending (shortest to longest) and descending (longest to shortest). Ascending order sorts intervals from shortest to longest, while descending order sorts from longest to shortest.

How does the tool handle duplicate intervals?

The tool preserves duplicate intervals in the sorted output and provides analysis showing which intervals are duplicated. Duplicates are maintained in their original order relative to each other, ensuring consistent sorting behavior.

Can I use the current date?

Yes! Click the "Use Current Date" button to automatically populate the input field with the current date. This is perfect for quick sorting of the current date along with other intervals.

What information does the result include?

The result includes the original intervals, sorted intervals, sorting analysis (total intervals, sort order, shortest/longest intervals), interval differences (total span, average gaps), duplicate analysis, and detailed interval information (formatted display, total days). This comprehensive analysis helps you understand the interval distribution and patterns.

Is there a limit on the number of intervals I can sort?

No, there are no limits on the number of intervals you can sort. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so you can sort as many intervals as needed without any restrictions.

Can I copy the results?

Yes! The tool provides a copy button that allows you to copy the sorted results to your clipboard. You can then paste the sorted intervals into any application or document that supports text input.
