—About Sort Lines
Sort Lines arranges lines alphabetically, numerically, naturally, or randomly, ascending or descending, with options like case sensitivity and removing blanks. It is for organising lists, data, and any line-based text.
Ordering a list by hand is slow and mistake-prone. Sorting locally handles it instantly with the right comparison for your data, and nothing is uploaded.
Step by step
- Paste the lines you want to sort.
- Choose a sort type: alphabetical, numeric, natural, or random.
- Pick ascending or descending order.
- Set options such as case sensitivity or removing blank lines.
- Copy the sorted result.
What it offers
- Alphabetical, numeric, natural, and random sorting
- Ascending or descending order
- Case sensitivity and blank-line options
- Sorted locally
Where it helps
- Alphabetising a glossary or index
- Ordering version numbers with natural sort
- Shuffling a list randomly for sampling
- Sorting numeric data before analysis
Tips for best results
- Use natural sort for mixed text and numbers, such as file names with numeric suffixes.
- Pick numeric sort for pure numbers so order follows value, not character sequence.
- Remove blank lines as part of sorting to keep the result clean.
Pitfalls to watch for
- Using alphabetical sort on numbers, which puts “10” before “2” — choose numeric or natural sort instead.
- Forgetting that case-sensitive sorting groups capitals separately from lowercase.
- Leaving blank lines in, which cluster at one end and clutter the result.
