Sort lines alphabetically online
—
Paste a list to sort it alphabetically, ascending or descending. Great for names, lists and data.
What it is for
The alphabetical sort tool puts a list in ascending or descending order automatically. Paste the lines and get the organized list, ready to copy.
Sorting a large list by hand is slow and error prone. Here the result comes instantly, keeping each item on its own line.
When to use
- Organize names, cities or terms in alphabetical order.
- Prepare lists for reports and documents.
- Put keywords in order for review.
- Sort items before pasting into a spreadsheet.
How to use
- Paste the list, one item per line.
- Choose ascending (A to Z) or descending (Z to A) order.
- Copy the already sorted list.
Limitations
Sorting considers the text of each line. Accents and case may influence the order depending on the content. For numeric lists, remember the order is alphabetical, so 10 may come before 2. Everything runs in the browser, with nothing sent to servers.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the tool case sensitive?
- Sorting uses the text as is. Depending on the content, upper and lower case may affect the position of some items.
- How does it handle numbers?
- The order is alphabetical, not numeric. So in a list of numbers, 10 may appear before 2. For numeric order, normalize the numbers first.
- Is the data sent to any server?
- No. Sorting happens in your browser, without transmitting the list.
