Length-Aware Numeric Sorter
Sorting numbers can feel like solving a puzzle—should you sort by length, value, or both? The Length-Aware Numeric Sorter is here to make your life easier. Whether you're organizing data, prepping for an exam, or just curious about how numbers stack up, this tool sorts numbers by their length and value in a snap. No more manual sorting or scratching your head over messy lists. Just type in your numbers, hit sort, and watch them fall into place. It’s like magic, but without the wand!

Sorted Numbers
How It Works
The Length-Aware Numeric Sorter follows a simple two-step process:
- Step 1: It first sorts numbers by their length (how many digits they have). For example, 12 comes before 123 because it's shorter.
- Step 2: If two numbers have the same length, it sorts them by their numerical value. So, 12 comes before 23, even though both are two-digit numbers.
Here's a quick example to show how it works:
| Input | Sorted Output |
|---|---|
| 123, 45, 6789, 12, 3 | 3, 12, 45, 123, 6789 |
| 100, 99, 1000, 1, 10 | 1, 10, 99, 100, 1000 |
| 5, 55, 555, 5555 | 5, 55, 555, 5555 |
