How to use Sort lines
Add your text
Type or paste your text into the input box. Everything is handled by your own browser, so nothing is sent to a server.
Set the options
Choose Ignore case, Trim each line, Remove duplicates and Remove blank lines. The options are visible from the start, not hidden until you paste something.
Read it and keep a copy
The output updates as you type, so there is nothing to submit and nothing to wait for. Copy result, Don puts the result on your clipboard and Download .txt saves it as a file.
What this tool does
Sort A to Z or Z to A
A to Z and Z to A sort alphabetically, which is what most lists need and what a spreadsheet makes surprisingly fiddly.
Sort by length or numerically
Length orders by how long each line is, and Numeric sorts by value so 2 comes before 10 rather than after it.
Reverse or shuffle lines
Reverse flips the list as it stands, and Shuffle puts it in a random order, for draws and running orders.
Ignore case, trim, dedupe, drop blanks
Ignore case, trim each line, remove duplicates and drop blanks can each be turned on, so one pass cleans and sorts together.
No upload, no sign-up
The list is sorted in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, and Copy result or Download .txt takes it away.
Frequently asked questions
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Sorting happens entirely in your browser and your text is never sent to a server.
What sort orders are available?
Alphabetical A to Z and Z to A, by line length, numeric by the first number on each line, simple reverse of the current order, and random shuffle.
How does numeric sorting work?
It reads the first number it finds on each line and sorts by that value, so lines like item 2 and item 10 end up in the right order. Lines with no number are placed at the end.
Can it remove duplicates and blank lines too?
Yes. Turn on Remove duplicates to keep only the first copy of each line, and Remove blank lines to drop empty lines before sorting.
Does Ignore case change my text?
No. It only affects the comparison while sorting; your lines keep their original capitalization in the result.
Is there a size limit?
No fixed limit, though very large lists are handled in your browser and may be slower on an older device.
