Sorted list

Sort a line-by-line list in three steps

01

Paste a list

Type or paste one item per line. The tool sorts whole lines; it does not read table columns or open files.

Choose the order that fits your list

Your listChoose OrderCheck the result
Names or codes with lettersA → Z or Z → AReview similar names; there is no separate option to distinguish case or accents.
One number per lineNumeric ascendingNegative and decimal numbers with a dot or comma sort by value; nonnumeric lines come after numbers.
Shortest or longest lines firstLength ascending or descendingLength uses the whole line after Trim each line is applied; it is not a word count.
Only reverse the original orderReverse linesThe last line comes first; line text stays unchanged if trimming is off.

If the order is unexpected

Numbers mixed with text
Numeric ascending reads whole integers or decimals; a dot or comma is treated as a decimal mark, not a thousands separator. Lines with units or letters follow the numbers. For codes such as A2/A10, try A → Z and review.
Missing lines or spaces
Remove empty lines also drops whitespace-only lines. Trim each line removes spaces at both ends; turn off the relevant option if you need to keep them, then sort again.
Repeated lines remain
Sorting only changes line positions. To remove repeated lines, use Remove Duplicate Lines under Related Tools.

Drafts on this device when available

The list is sorted in your browser. When local storage is available, your text and options are kept for next time. Select Clear to remove this tool’s input, result and draft; downloaded TXT files stay where you saved them.
