About the Sort Lines

Sort Lines arranges a list in the order you need: alphabetical, reverse alphabetical, numeric, by line length, reversed, or randomly shuffled. Natural sorting means "item 2" comes before "item 10", just like a person would expect.

How to use the Sort Lines

  1. Paste your lines into the input.
  2. Pick a sort order and options such as case sensitivity.
  3. Copy the sorted result.

Frequently asked questions

What is natural sort?

Natural sort compares numbers inside text by their value, so "file2" sorts before "file10". A plain character sort would put "file10" first.

How does numeric sort handle text lines?

Lines are sorted by the first number found in them. Lines without a number are placed at the end.

Is the shuffle truly random?

It uses the Fisher–Yates algorithm with the browser's random number generator, giving every order an equal chance.
