TV Tropes Alphabetizer

1. Paste the list into the top input field.
2. Click the "Load" button and type "yes" to confirm. The list will be divided into items and listed below.

3. In each row, the left box contains the item text. On the right are buttons that change the list.

   • "S"plit: Adds a column below.
   • "M"erge: Joins with the next column. The texts are concatenated.

4. Enter the strings the items should be sorted by in the second input fields of the rows. It is the title of tropes or works, but be careful with leading articles and custom titles. Capitalizations, spaces, and punctuations are removed automatically. Follow the Administrivia "How to Alphabetize Things". It is recommended to refer to the preview.

   Additional keyboard controls while focused in one of the boxes:

   • Enter: Focus on the next item. On the last row, focus instead on the "Alphabetize" button.
   • Shift + Enter: Focus on the previous item.
   • Shift + Space: On an empty box, searches for the first wick and extracts the article title.
   • Ctrl + Shift + Space: On an empty box, searches for the first wick, extracts the article title, and applies additional logic ("Advanced extraction").
5. Click the "Alphabetize" button. The sorted list will appear below.

• Word wrap: Wrap text in input fields.
• Warn empty keys: Show a dialog box warning that some sort keys are is not filled. They do not prevent sorting, but they will be moved to the beginning of the list.
• Autofill on focus: Extract the article title when focusing on the sort key input box without needing to use the keyboard combination.
• Advanced extraction for autofill: With "Autofill on focus" option, autofilling uses the "advanced extraction".
• Reverse advanced extraction control: Swap the keyboard combinations for normal and "advanced extraction".

Normal extraction removes the spaces and punctuations. "Advanced extraction" applies extra processing to the extracted article title. It uses a custom Lisp-like scripting language.
