Does it sort by line?

Yes. Each line is treated as one entry. Multi-line paragraphs stay together only if they are on a single line.

Can it remove duplicate lines while sorting?

Yes. Turn on the duplicate-removal option to strip repeated lines before or after sorting.

Is sorting case-sensitive?

Sorting compares text alphabetically the way a spreadsheet would, so keep casing consistent in your list if exact ordering matters.
