Sort lines of text

Sort lines is a free tool that runs entirely in your browser, with no data ever sent to a server. Sort a list alphabetically, numerically, or by length.

Three ways to sort

Alphabetical sort compares lines letter by letter. Numeric sort converts each line to a number before comparing : useful for a list of values, otherwise "10" would sort before "2" in an alphabetical sort. Length sort ranks lines by their character count.

What this tool does not do

This tool only applies the transformation described above, with no spelling correction and no understanding of the text's meaning. A text of tens of thousands of lines is processed instantly ; beyond that, the only limit is your device's memory.

Frequently asked questions

What happens in numeric sort if a line isn't a number?

It's treated as zero and ends up with the smallest values, in ascending order.

Is my data sent to a server?

No : the text you type or paste is processed entirely in your browser, on your device. It is never transmitted to a server.

Do I need to create an account or install anything?

No : the tool works directly on this page, with no sign-up and no install.
