Sort Lines
Sort text lines alphabetically in ascending or descending order. Also sort by line length, remove duplicates, or reverse the order.
Sort Lines - Organize Text Lists Instantly
The Sort Lines tool arranges text lines according to multiple criteria: alphabetically (A→Z or Z→A), by length (shortest to longest or vice versa), or in reverse order. This versatility handles diverse sorting needs from simple alphabetical organization to complex length-based arrangements.
Sorting Options Explained
Alphabetical A→Z: Sorts lines in ascending alphabetical order, perfect for creating indexes, organizing names, arranging keywords, or preparing sorted lists for publications. Case-insensitive sorting ensures "Apple" and "apple" are grouped together.
Alphabetical Z→A: Reverse alphabetical order, useful when you need descending organization or want to identify items at the end of the alphabet quickly.
Shortest to Longest: Arranges lines by character count, useful for finding the briefest entries, organizing by complexity, or creating graduated lists for presentations where you want to build from simple to complex.
Longest to Shortest: Prioritizes longer entries, helping identify the most detailed items or organize content by comprehensiveness.
Reverse Order: Simply inverts the current line order, useful for flipping bottom-to-top lists or reversing chronological entries.
Common Use Cases
Students organize bibliography entries, to-do lists, or study notes. Developers sort import statements, CSS properties, or configuration options. Researchers alphabetize citations, reference lists, or data entries. Business professionals organize client lists, inventory items, or project tasks.
