Text Sorter

Text Sorter is for sort text. It keeps the page focused on that one job, so you can check the sorted list without opening a larger app.

Sort Lines of Text

Alphabetize a list, sort numerically, reverse order, or shuffle - one line per item, one click per sort. Also removes duplicates while it's at it, which is usually the hidden second job.

What Text Sorter cleans up

The sorter treats each line as an item and reorders them by your chosen rule: alphabetical, numerical, reversed, or shuffled. The numeric mode matters more than it sounds - text sorting puts '10' before '9' (because '1' < '9' character-wise), and numeric mode fixes exactly that.

Why small text fixes matter

Sorting shows up everywhere lists live outside spreadsheets: name rosters, email lists, tags, keywords, inventory codes, references. Doing it by hand past twenty items invites errors, and pasting into Excel just to sort one column is the long way round. Combined duplicate removal handles the real-world truth that most unsorted lists are also quietly redundant.

How the text is handled

Paste your list (one item per line), pick the sort, optionally toggle duplicate removal, copy the result. Case-insensitive mode keeps 'apple' and 'Apple' together; numeric mode sorts by value.
