Sort Lines Alphabetically
Order your lines A to Z instantly.
About this tool
Sorting lines alphabetically is a daily need for glossaries, inventories, name lists, configuration keys, and reference tables. Doing it by hand is slow and error-prone, especially past a few dozen entries. This tool does it in a click using the browser's locale-aware sort, so accented characters order sensibly for English and many European languages.
Paste one item per line and press Run. The result is client-side and instant, with no upload and no account. Pair it with remove-duplicate-lines to produce a clean, ordered, unique list, or with trim-lines first if edges are messy.
Who relies on it? Teachers alphabetizing student or book lists, librarians and researchers ordering citations, ops teams sorting hostnames or IDs, and content managers tidying tag collections. It is also a quick way to sanity-check whether two lists contain the same items: sort both, then compare.
A note on ordering: the default is A→Z ascending. If your audience sometimes needs Z→A or numeric sorting (for lines that start with numbers), mention those as follow-ups or future variants. Locale sorting means "apple" and "Apple" may group together depending on the environment; for strict, case-insensitive results you might lowercase first.
