@Scrutinizer: would this allow for and remove duplicate upper case IDs?

A missing part of the requirement was whether the data could be case-converted to all lower or all upper. The sort options can ignore case but preserve it. So, if a duplicated ID is always uppercase, it is still uppercase on the output.
