Memcmp:
If this box is checked, then the strings are compared based on their binary values.

If this box is not checked, then a special comparison algorithm is used. In the special comparison, the access modifiers such as  vedic, music, laghu, & guru symbols are ignored. For Kannada script, 'ra' kaara & 'repha' are matched. Ex: the KANTRANS strings "karma" & "kaRma" are evaluated as equal. When this option is used the sorting operation is comparitively slower.

Sort order:
If "Ascending" box is checked, the words are sorted in the ascending order. Otherwise, they are sorted in the descending order.

Sort button:
Clicking this button will sort the Kannada text in the input window and displays in the output window.
