About Sort lines
Sort lines online to organize labels, names, or a plain-text checklist. You can alphabetize a list of text in ascending or descending order. Duplicate lines remain in the result; remove them in the dedicated duplicate-line tool if necessary.
How to sort a text list alphabetically
- Paste the list with one item per line.
- Choose A to Z or Z to A and select Process.
- Review the order and download sorted-lines.txt.
A practical example
- Input
pear apple banana
- Result
apple banana pear
Sorting compares full lines using the browser's locale-aware, base-sensitivity comparison.
Supported input and limitations
- This is not natural numeric sorting: numeric strings are compared as text. Case and accents are compared with base sensitivity.
- Ordering of language-specific characters can vary by runtime locale. Empty lines and duplicates are not removed automatically.
Processing happens on your device. Read about local processing and optional workspace recovery.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sort text lines in reverse alphabetical order?
Yes. Choose Z to A to reverse the ascending sorted order.
Does this tool sort numbers numerically?
No numeric-sort option is enabled. A text comparison can place 10 before 2; use a numeric-aware workflow if that is not what you need.
