Due to ortho effect, in most cases,-
“Ortho-isomer of Benzoic acid is strongest Acid as compared to Simple benzoic acid or meta & para-isomers & Ortho- isomer of Aniline is Weakest Base as compared to Simple Aniline or meta & para-isomers.”
roopiniP:
if the ortho group consists of alkyl then is it more acidic or not.

They can also influence acidity significantly by sterics, forcing the carboxylic acid group to bend out of the plane of the benzene ring. Ortho effect is applicabel to benzoic acid and anilines. It states that ortho substitutsed benzoic acid and anilines are more acidic than benzoic acid and aniline respectively.
