What this tool does
Alphabetical sorting uses your browser's locale-aware comparison, so accented letters and non-Latin scripts are ordered the way readers of that language expect. Numeric mode compares values rather than text, so 10 comes after 9 instead of before it.
How to use it
- Paste your list, one item per line.
- Choose A–Z, Numeric or Line length, and optionally reverse the order.
- Copy the sorted list.
Privacy
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is my numeric list sorted oddly in A–Z mode?
- Alphabetical order compares text, so "10" sorts before "9". Switch to Numeric mode to compare the values.
- What happens to blank lines?
- They are removed so the sorted output stays compact.
