About This Tool


Sorting text lines is essential for organizing lists, preparing data, and cleaning up content. Our tool offers multiple sorting methods to handle different types of content.

Alphabetical sorting arranges lines from A to Z (or Z to A for reverse). The case-sensitive option determines whether uppercase and lowercase letters are sorted together or separately.

Numerical sorting is smart about numbers, properly ordering "2" before "10" unlike simple alphabetical sort which would place "10" before "2". This is perfect for sorting numbered lists or data with numeric prefixes.

Sorting by line length helps identify short entries that might need expansion or long lines that could be trimmed. It's useful for content auditing and consistency checks.

The option to remove duplicates while sorting combines two operations in one, giving you a sorted list of unique items.

FAQ

How does numerical sorting work?
Numerical sort detects numbers at the start of lines and sorts by their numeric value, so 2 comes before 10.
Are blank lines removed?
Blank lines are sorted to the top or bottom depending on order. You can use the duplicate remover first to clean them up.
Does it sort by first word only?
Sorting considers the entire line, character by character, starting from the first character.
How is case handled?
With case-sensitive sorting, uppercase letters come before lowercase. Case-insensitive treats A and a as equal.
Can I sort comma-separated values?
This tool sorts complete lines. For CSV data, each line (row) is sorted as a unit.
