Conclusion
Nothing is suitable when you want to reverse every character in a text string. It treats the entire cell value as a continuous string and reverses its character order without using a separator.
Space, Comma, and Line Feed are designed for reversing the order of words or text segments while keeping each individual segment intact. These options are useful for names, phrases, comma-separated lists, and multi-line text.
Other provides additional flexibility for text that uses custom separators. You can specify a delimiter such as a dash, semicolon, or pipe and reverse the order of the separated text segments. Together, these options allow Reverse Text Order to handle both character-level and segment-level reversal without formulas or VBA.
