var sheet = new Spreadsheet(path: string, stringsOnly: boolean);

The path parameter is for the the spreadsheet's (.csv file format) file path. simple-csv-tools supports numbers. The stringsOnly parameter (false by default) is a boolean to ask whether the data should be returned only in the string format. If stringsOnly is set to true, numerical values will be returned in the string format.

5. sortColumns(fisrtlineisheaders: boolean, headers: array): Sorts data in the spreadhseet by it's columns and returns the sorted data. The fisrtlineisheaders and sortNumericalRows is set to true by default. You need to give the headers parameter only if fisrtlineisheaders is set to false. This method will return the array of all the columns in the spreadsheet in the Column format.
