What does this tool do?
Advanced Sort Lines reorders the lines of a text block alphabetically (A→Z, Z→A), numerically (0→9, 9→0), by length, reversed, or randomly shuffled. It is handy for anyone organizing lists, word groups, log entries, or CSV columns, and you can toggle case sensitivity on or off.
How to use it
- Paste your text into the input area.
- Adjust the options to fit your needs.
- Copy the processed text.
Seven sort modes, one click
A→Z and Z→A alphabetical sorting uses locale-aware comparison, so accented and non-English characters order correctly. The 0→9 and 9→0 modes read the leading number on each line and sort numerically, so a line starting with '10' lands after '2' rather than before it. Length mode orders lines by character count, Reverse flips the current order, and Shuffle randomizes the lines. Every change appears instantly in the output box on the right.
Case sensitivity
By default, sorting ignores letter case, so 'apple' and 'Banana' appear in the order you expect. Tick the 'Case sensitive' option and uppercase letters are treated separately, which is useful for code, variable names, or lists where capitalization carries meaning. Everything runs in your browser; your lines are never uploaded to any server, keeping private or sensitive data on your device.
Frequently asked questions
How does numeric sort differ from text sort?
In text sort, the line '10' comes before '2' because characters are compared one by one. In numeric mode the tool reads each line's numeric value, so 2, 10, and 100 line up in true number order.
Does it remove duplicate lines?
No. This tool only reorders lines and never deletes any. All of your input is preserved in the output, just in a different sequence.
What happens to blank lines?
Blank lines are treated as lines and sorted along with the rest; in alphabetical modes they usually move to the top, and in length mode they group at the start because they are the shortest.
