Sort Lines
Sort lines ascending/descending with optional case sensitivity.
Informational only; verify critical results independently.
How to use
- Paste or type lines (one per line) into the input.
- Choose ascending (A→Z, 0→9) or descending (Z→A, 9→0).
- Turn on case-sensitive if you need 'Apple' and 'apple' ordered separately.
- Copy the sorted result; original line order is lost.
- Use Unique Lines first if you want to remove duplicates before sorting.
- Empty lines are kept and sort with the rest.
Examples
- Sort 50 email addresses A→Z
- Sort product codes descending
- Alphabetize a list of names (case-insensitive)
- Sort numbers as text: 1, 10, 2 → 1, 10, 2 (not numeric order)
- Sort lines from a CSV column after pasting one column
- Order a list of filenames case-sensitively
FAQ
- Does it remove duplicates?
- No—use the Unique Lines tool first if you want to deduplicate.
- How are numbers sorted?
- As text (e.g. 10 before 2). For numeric order, use a spreadsheet or sort the numbers as numbers elsewhere.
- What about blank lines?
- They stay in the list and sort with the others.
- Can I sort by a different column?
- Paste only the column you want to sort, or use Find & Replace to isolate it first.
- Why did order change in an odd way?
- Check case-sensitive and ascending/descending. Leading spaces also affect order.
- Where is the data sent?
- Nowhere. Sorting runs in your browser.
