What does this Sort Lines tool do?

This tool rearranges the lines in your text. You can sort them alphabetically from A-Z (ascending), Z-A (descending), or simply reverse the entire list (last line becomes first).

Does this tool sort numerically?

This tool performs a standard alphabetical (lexicographical) sort. This means '10' comes *before* '2' (because '1' comes before '2'). It does not sort by numerical value.

Yes. All sorting happens 100% in your browser. Your text data is never sent to our servers, so it's completely private and secure.

What is an Online Line Sorter?

An Online Line Sorter is a simple tool that takes a block of text and rearranges its lines based on a chosen order. It's a quick and easy way to organize messy lists or data.

Key Features:

Sort A-Z (Alphabetical): Sorts all lines in ascending alphabetical order (e.g., Apple, Banana, Cherry).
Sort Z-A (Reverse Alphabetical): Sorts all lines in descending alphabetical order (e.g., Cherry, Banana, Apple).
Reverse Line Order: Reverses the current order of the lines, making the last line the first and the first line the last, without any alphabetical sorting.

This tool is perfect for developers cleaning up log files, students organizing research notes, or anyone needing to quickly alphabetize a list.

Sorting Best Practices

1️⃣

Numerical vs. Alphabetical

This tool uses alphabetical (lexicographical) sorting. This means "100" comes *before* "2" because the character '1' comes before '2'. It does not sort by numerical value. This is important to remember when sorting lists of numbers.

Handle Empty Lines

Empty lines are treated as valid lines by the sorter. In an A-Z sort, empty lines will typically be sorted to the very top of the list. You can use our "Unique Lines" or "Trim Whitespace" tools first to clean up your data before sorting.

Sorting is Case-Sensitive

Standard sorting is case-sensitive. This means "Z" will come *before* "a" (uppercase letters come before lowercase in ASCII). To ensure a true alphabetical sort regardless of case, it's best to use our Case Converter tool to make all lines lowercase first.
