Sort Lines Alphabetically

Paste your list with one item per line, click Sort A-Z, and the tool reorders everything alphabetically. Copy the result. Works on names, URLs, titles, anything where each line is a separate item. By default sorting is case-sensitive, so capital letters come before lowercase ones. Switch on the case-insensitive toggle if "Apple" and "apple" should sort together. For a Z-to-A sort, there's a separate descending option right next to the ascending button.

Same idea as sorting lines alphabetically. Paste your list with each item on its own line, click Sort A-Z. The tool returns the list in alphabetical order. Numbers, when mixed with words, sort by their character value rather than their numeric value — so "10" comes before "2" in default mode. Switch to numeric sort if your list is numbers. Switch to case-insensitive if mixed capitalisation is causing weird sort order. Copy and paste the cleaned output.

Pick the Numeric Sort option instead of alphabetical. The tool then reads each line as a number and orders them by value — "2" before "10", "100" after "20". Without numeric mode, sorting goes character-by-character, which puts "10" before "2" because "1" comes before "2". Useful for sorting price lists, ID numbers, dates in YYYY-MM-DD format, or any column of numbers you've copied out of a spreadsheet that needs reordering.

Switch the sort mode to "by length". The tool then orders lines from shortest to longest, counting characters per line. So a list of "cat, elephant, dog, ant, hippopotamus" becomes "ant, cat, dog, elephant, hippopotamus" when sorted shortest-to-longest. Use Reverse Order to flip it longest-to-shortest. Useful for finding outlier-length entries in a dataset, organising poetry, or just quick visual sorting when alphabetical doesn't help much. A small but oddly useful feature.

Switch to the Shuffle or Random Order mode. The tool returns your lines in a random sequence — every click gives a different order. Useful for randomising playlist order, shuffling quiz questions, picking a random winner from a list of names, or breaking up a sorted list when you don't want any pattern. The randomisation is fresh each time, so don't worry about hidden patterns; click again if you want a different result.

Click Sort Z-A (or "descending"). The tool orders your lines from Z down to A — exactly the opposite of normal alphabetical sort. So "apple, banana, mango" becomes "mango, banana, apple". Useful for finding entries that start with later letters, organising countdown lists, or reversing a sort you just did. Combine with case-insensitive mode if mixed capitalisation is throwing off the order. Numeric values can also be sorted high-to-low using descending numeric mode.

Two-step on the same page. First, run Sort A-Z to alphabetise your list. Then, if there's a "remove duplicates" toggle, switch it on before sorting; if not, copy the sorted output, paste it into the dedupe tool, and run Remove Duplicates. The result is a clean, alphabetised, unique list. Useful for cleaning email lists, contact files, URL collections, or anything that combines messiness with repetition. Three clicks, no spreadsheet needed.
