Sorting Tips

Numeric Lists

Use numeric sort for numbered lists to get correct ordering (2 before 10, not after).

Combined Operations

Enable 'Remove duplicates' with sorting to clean and organize your data in one step.

Case Sensitivity

Case-insensitive sorting (default) produces more natural results for most text content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sort lines organizes your text line by line. You can sort alphabetically (A-Z or Z-A), numerically (for lines starting with numbers), by line length (shortest to longest or vice versa), or randomly shuffle all lines.
Alphabetical sorting treats everything as text ('10' comes before '2' because '1' < '2'). Numeric sorting treats lines as numbers where possible ('2' comes before '10'). Use numeric for numbered lists.
Yes! Enable the 'Remove duplicates' option to eliminate duplicate lines while sorting. This is useful for creating unique, sorted lists from data with repetition.
With case-sensitive sorting, uppercase letters come before lowercase ('Apple' before 'banana'). Case-insensitive sorting treats 'Apple' and 'apple' as equal, creating more natural results for most uses.
Random sort uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm to randomly reorder all lines. Each time you modify the input or toggle an option, the lines are reshuffled.
