Line Sort
Sort text lines alphabetically, numerically, or by length. Remove duplicates and reverse order with one click.
What sorting methods are available?
You can sort lines alphabetically (A-Z), in reverse alphabetical order (Z-A), numerically, by line length, or randomly shuffle them.
Can I remove duplicate lines?
Yes, check the "Remove duplicates" option to eliminate duplicate lines before or after sorting.
How does numerical sort work?
Numerical sort extracts numbers from the beginning of each line and sorts by their numeric value, not as text. For example, "2" comes before "10".
Is my text sent to a server?
No, all sorting is done entirely in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
Can I sort case-insensitively?
Yes, the alphabetical sort is case-insensitive by default, treating "Apple" and "apple" as equal for sorting purposes.
What is the maximum number of lines I can sort?
There is no hard limit, but performance depends on your browser's memory. The tool can handle tens of thousands of lines efficiently.
Can I sort by multiple criteria?
Currently, sorting uses a single criterion. For complex multi-level sorting, you may need to sort multiple times in sequence.
Does the tool preserve empty lines?
Empty lines are treated as valid lines and will be sorted along with other content. You can remove them manually before sorting if needed.
Can I undo a sort operation?
Yes, use your browser's undo function (Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z) to revert changes, or simply paste your original text again.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, the line sort tool is completely free with no registration required. All features are available without any limitations.
How to Use Line Sort
Sort text lines alphabetically, numerically or by length, then remove duplicates or reverse the order — all processed locally, nothing is uploaded.
- Paste your lines into the text area (placeholder: 'Paste your text here...').
- Choose a sort mode — alphabetical, numerical or by length — and tick 'Case insensitive' if capitalization shouldn't matter.
- Tick 'Remove duplicates' to drop repeated lines in one click.
- Reverse the order if needed, then copy the sorted list back to your work.
Sorting numerically puts 10 after 2; alphabetical order would place '10' before '2'.
