Put a list in alphabetical or natural order, ascending or descending. Optionally ignore case, trim each line or remove blank lines, then copy or download the result privately.
Your list is sorted on your device with no uploads, accounts, dependencies or browser storage. You can review the result beside the original, and duplicates are preserved so sorting does not silently remove entries.
Alphabetical mode compares text using English collation. Natural mode also compares digit groups numerically, so item 2 comes before item 10. This is not a mathematical number sorter: signed numbers, decimals, fractions and scientific notation are not interpreted as complete numeric values.
No. Sorting preserves duplicate entries. Entries that compare equally keep their original relative order, even in descending order. Use Remove Duplicate Lines if you want to deduplicate a list.
It ignores uppercase/lowercase differences in sorting while retaining the original spelling. Accents still matter. English Unicode collation can treat some differently encoded strings as equivalent, in which case their original relative order is kept. Exact ordering can vary slightly with browser collation data.
Yes. Trimming removes whitespace at the start and end of every output line before sorting. Interior spacing remains unchanged. Without trimming, whitespace stays in place and participates in sorting. Remove blank lines drops empty and whitespace-only entries.
An ending newline terminates the final entry and is not counted as an extra blank entry. If the input ends with a newline and at least one entry remains, the output retains an ending newline. CRLF and CR endings normalize to LF. This matches our Remove Duplicate Lines tool.
The tool accepts up to 200,000 UTF-16 text units and 20,000 line entries. Some emoji use multiple units. Oversized input remains untouched while processing is unavailable. Clear removes the input and result. Text is not saved when you leave or reload the page.
