Alphabetical A→Z

Sort lines alphabetically in ascending order. Perfect for organizing names, titles, and lists.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this tool.

What sort methods are available?
Six methods: alphabetical A→Z, alphabetical Z→A, numerical (natural order), by line length, by word count, and random shuffle. You can also reverse any sorted result.
How does numerical sorting work?
Numerical sort uses natural ordering — it detects numbers embedded in lines and sorts them by their numeric value. "item2" comes before "item10" because 2 < 10.
Can I sort case-insensitively?
Yes. Toggle the "Case-insensitive" option to sort "Apple" and "apple" together without distinguishing between upper and lower case.
Does it remove duplicates?
Yes. Enable the "Remove duplicates" option to eliminate duplicate lines during sorting. Combined with "Remove empty lines," you get a clean, unique, sorted list.
