Frequently asked questions
Can I sort by lines, words, or comma-separated values?
Yes. Choose 'Lines' to sort each line, 'Words' to sort every word in the whole text, or 'Delimited Items' and enter a delimiter such as a comma to sort separated values.
How do I sort in reverse alphabetical order?
Select the Descending (Z-A) option and the list is ordered from Z down to A instead of the default A-Z.
What does the 'Ignore case' option do?
With 'Ignore case' on, uppercase and lowercase letters are treated the same, so 'Apple' and 'apple' sort together. With it off, capitalized words are grouped separately based on their character codes.
How are numbers and special characters handled?
Sorting is character based, so leading numbers and symbols are ordered by their underlying values, which generally places digits and punctuation before letters in ascending order.
Can I remove duplicates while sorting, and is my data private?
Yes, enable 'Remove duplicate lines' to keep only unique entries. Everything runs in your browser, so your list is never uploaded, and the tool is free to use.
