Sort Text Lines

Sort lines of text alphabetically (A–Z or Z–A). Fast, free and private.

When you have a list — names, terms, entries — putting it in alphabetical order by hand is tedious and error-prone. Sort Text Lines orders your lines A–Z or Z–A instantly, so a messy list becomes a tidy one in a click.

How to use sort text lines

  1. 1. Paste your list, one item per line.
  2. 2. Choose A–Z or Z–A.
  3. 3. Copy the sorted list.

When to use Sort Text Lines

Sort names, keywords or glossary terms into order.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sort in reverse?

Yes — choose Z–A for descending order.

How are numbers and capitals handled?

Sorting is alphabetical; mixed numbers and letters follow standard character order, so a dedicated numeric sort may differ.

Is my list uploaded?

No — sorting happens in your browser.
