Questions

Why does it still show duplicates?
Almost always trailing spaces or differing capitalisation. Turn on trim and ignore case and they collapse.
Is the original order kept?
Yes unless you ask for sorting. The first occurrence of each line stays where it was.
Does it keep the first or the last copy?
Whichever you choose. Keeping the first preserves the original order; keeping the last is what you want when later lines are corrections.
Why are lines that look identical not removed?
Something invisible differs — a trailing space, or a capital letter. Turn on trimming and ignore case and they collapse.
