About this tool

Sorting lines alphabetically cleans messy exports — email lists, tag collections, and inventory SKUs become scannable.

Shuffle mode randomizes order for contests, playlist picks, and fair selection.

How to use the Text Sorter

  1. 1

    Paste your list with one item per line.

  2. 2

    Choose sort order: A–Z, Z–A, by length, or shuffle.

  3. 3

    Copy the sorted output — processed instantly in your browser.

Sort options

Alphabetical sort is case-sensitive by default — normalize case first if needed.

Length sort helps find outliers like unusually long URLs in a list.

Pro tips

  • Dedupe before sorting to avoid repeated entries in ordered output.
  • Copy sorted output immediately — refresh clears the workspace.

Can I sort numbers?▼

Alphabetical sort treats numbers as text — for numeric lists, pad with zeros if needed.
