How to Sort Lines of Text
Paste your text into the input area. Each line is treated as a separate item to sort. Choose your preferred sort method and the tool instantly reorders the lines.
Sort Methods
Alphabetical (A→Z / Z→A): Sorts lines in standard dictionary order. Numbers come before letters. Useful for sorting names, titles, or any text-based list.
Numeric: Sorts lines by their leading number value. Lines starting with "10" sort after "9" (unlike alphabetical sort where "10" comes before "9"). Essential for numbered lists and data.
By Length: Sorts lines by character count — shortest to longest or vice versa. Useful for organizing items by size or complexity.
Reverse: Flips the order of lines without any sorting logic. The last line becomes first.
When to Use This Tool
- Organizing lists: Sort shopping lists, to-do items, or brainstorming notes alphabetically.
- Data preparation: Sort CSV rows, database exports, or configuration entries for easier review.
- Code formatting: Sort import statements, CSS properties, or configuration keys alphabetically for consistency.
- Content creation: Arrange keywords, tags, or categories in a logical order before publishing.
