Line Sorter

Sort lines alphabetically, by length, in reverse, or shuffle them randomly. Paste a list, choose a mode, copy the result — instant and free.

When to Use a Line Sorter

• Alphabetizing lists — sort names, keywords, or glossary terms A–Z
• Deduplication prep — sort before comparing to spot duplicates visually
• Randomizing items — shuffle a list for random assignment or raffle draws
• Organizing imports — sort CSS class names, import statements, or config keys
• Ranking by length — useful for keyword research or finding the shortest/longest items

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it sort numbers correctly?

Alphabetical sorting treats numbers as strings, so 10 sorts before 2 (because “1” < “2”). For numeric sorting, ensure all numbers are zero-padded to the same length, or use a dedicated numeric sort tool.

Does the tool handle empty lines?

Yes. Empty lines are preserved and treated as items with zero length. Use the Trim Whitespace option to remove lines that contain only spaces.
