Unique Only is perfect for cleaning CSV exports full of duplicate entries. I chain it with A–Z sort using the "use as input" button. Brilliant workflow.

Sort by length blew my mind — now I use it constantly for UI copy where I need to see which strings are shortest. The stats bar shows exactly what changed.

Shuffle randomises my quiz question order in seconds. The duplicate count in the stats bar is a great indicator of how dirty my data is before cleaning.

📖 How to Use the Text Sorter

1

Paste Your List

Paste or type your items into the input box — one item per line. Works with words, phrases, URLs, email addresses or any text.

2

Choose a Sort Mode

Click one of the 7 sort buttons. A→Z and Z→A for alphabetical, Length ↑/↓ for size ordering, Reverse to flip, Shuffle to randomise, Unique Only to deduplicate.

3

Set Options

Toggle Case Sensitive for strict sorting, Trim Whitespace to clean padding, or Remove Empty Lines to strip blanks before sorting.

4

Copy or Chain

Copy the sorted output directly, or click "Use as New Input" to run another sort on the result — chain as many operations as you need.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does case matter when sorting A–Z?+
By default, sorting is case-insensitive — "Apple" and "apple" are treated the same. Enable the "Case sensitive" option to use strict ASCII order, where uppercase letters (A–Z) sort before lowercase (a–z). This is useful for sorted code identifiers and technical lists.
Does Unique Only preserve the original order?+
Yes. Unique Only removes duplicate lines while keeping the first occurrence of each line in its original position. The relative order of remaining lines is unchanged — only subsequent duplicates are removed. Enable Case sensitive to treat "Apple" and "apple" as separate unique values.
How many lines can I sort?+
There is no hard limit. The tool handles thousands of lines instantly in your browser. For very large datasets (100,000+ lines) a spreadsheet application would be faster, but for all typical use cases — keyword lists, URL lists, name lists, email lists — this tool has no practical limit.
Does it sort numbers correctly?+
A–Z sort uses lexicographic (alphabetical) order, so "10" sorts before "9" since "1" comes before "9" as a character. For correct numeric sorting, pad numbers with leading zeros (01, 02… 10) before sorting. A dedicated numeric sort mode may be added in a future update.
What does "Use as New Input" do?+
It replaces the input box with the current sorted output so you can run a second (or third) sort operation on the result. This lets you chain operations — for example: remove duplicates first, then sort A–Z, then sort by length. Unlimited chaining is supported.
Is Shuffle truly random?+
Shuffle uses the Fisher-Yates algorithm — a proven unbiased shuffle method used in statistical software. Every permutation of your list has an equal probability of being generated. Each click of Shuffle produces a new independent random order.
Can I sort by word count per line?+
The current length-based sort modes (Length ↑ and Length ↓) sort by character count per line. Word-count-based sorting is not currently available but is on the roadmap. As a workaround, lines with more words tend to have more characters, so character-length sorting usually approximates word-count ordering for natural language lines.
