Alphabetically sorts strings separated by the specified delimiter. Adjust optional parameters when the defaults do not match your payload.

1. Set **Input** to the value to transform (previous step output or a literal).

2. Review **Delimiter**, **Reverse**, **Order** and keep defaults unless your format requires otherwise.

3. Confirm **Output value** shows the transformed result.
