Sort Lines
Sort lines alphabetically, numerically, by length or randomly, and reverse or clean up lists.
About Sort Lines
This tool sorts lines of text online in the order you need. Paste a list with one item per line and sort it alphabetically from A to Z or Z to A, in natural numeric order so 2 comes before 10, by line length, or in random order. You can also reverse a list and clean it up.
It is handy for putting names, words, keywords or file lists in alphabetical order without Excel or Notepad++. Hindi and other scripts are sorted too. Copy the sorted list or download it as a text file. The tool is free, needs no sign-up, and your list stays in your browser.
How to use Sort Lines
- Paste your list with one item per line.
- Choose a sort order such as A→Z or natural numeric.
- Copy or download the sorted list.
Frequently asked questions
What is natural numeric sorting?
Natural sorting treats numbers inside text as numbers, so “Item 2” comes before “Item 10”. A plain A→Z sort would put “Item 10” first because “1” comes before “2”.
Is the random shuffle truly random?
It uses the Fisher–Yates shuffle with your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, so every order is equally likely. Press “Shuffle again” for a new order.
Does sorting respect Hindi and other scripts?
Yes. Sorting uses your browser’s locale-aware comparison, which orders Devanagari and other scripts correctly.
How do I sort a list in alphabetical order?
Paste the list with one item per line and choose A→Z. Copy the sorted result when it appears.
Can I sort lines by length?
Yes. Choose sort by length to order lines from shortest to longest, or the reverse.
How do I shuffle a list randomly?
Choose Random to shuffle the lines into a new random order each time.
