Text Sorter
Arrange lines of text in the order you need
The Text Sorter is a free, no sign-up required tool that arranges lines of text alphabetically, numerically, or by length in just a click. Paste in any list, whether it is names, keywords, or numbers, and get an instantly organized output. Researchers, list builders, and spreadsheet users rely on it to clean up unordered data before further processing.
What does a text sorter do?
A text sorter reads each line of your pasted content as a separate item and rearranges those items based on the sorting method you choose. Options typically include A to Z, Z to A, shortest to longest, or numeric order for lists of numbers. This removes the need to manually reorder long lists by hand, which is slow and error-prone.

Frequently asked questions
Is Text Sorter free to use?
Yes, the tool is completely free with no sign-up required, and you can sort unlimited lists at no cost. There are no restrictions on how often you use it.
Can it sort numbers correctly, not just alphabetically?
Yes, numeric sorting treats numbers by their actual value rather than as text characters. This avoids the common issue where 10 appears before 2 in a plain alphabetical sort.
Will it remove duplicate lines automatically?
You can enable an option to strip duplicate lines while sorting your list. This is helpful when cleaning up keyword lists or contact names that contain repeated entries.
Does sorting change the original spelling or formatting?
No, the tool only reorders the lines and does not alter spelling, capitalization, or punctuation within each line. Your text content stays exactly as you entered it, just rearranged.
