Before choosing csv-sorter, decide whether your task requires produce a result suited to the actual input and downstream use; confirm the output format and what must remain unchanged.

Key takeaways

  • Purpose: produce a result suited to the actual input and downstream use.
  • Check: row count, delimiters, quoted fields, header names and character encoding.
