Text Sorter

How to use the Text Sorter

1. Paste one item per line.
2. Choose ascending or descending order if both are offered.
3. Sort and copy the ordered list.
4. Reset to sort a different list.

How it works

Lines are sorted with standard string comparison (locale rules depend on the browser). Ascending puts A before Z; descending reverses that.

Useful for name lists, glossaries, tag cleanup and preparing data for spreadsheets.

Examples

• banana, apple, cherry → apple, banana, cherry (A–Z).
• Same list Z–A → cherry, banana, apple.
• Numbers as text sort lexicographically (e.g. “10” before “2”) unless a numeric mode exists.
