Text Line Sorter Tool

• Text deduplicator
• Text splitter
• Word counter
• Text analyzer

Turn messy pasted lists into clean, ordered rows: alphabetical for names, by length for quick scanning, or by word count when line density matters.

Benefits

• Alphabetical: A–Z or Z–A using your locale's string rules.
• By length: shortest or longest lines first.
• By word count: order rows by how many words they hold.
• Dedupe: optional unique lines after sorting.
• Live preview: see sorted output while you edit.

The tool splits input on line breaks, drops blank lines, sorts each non-empty line as a whole string, then joins them back with newline characters.

Features

• Line-based: one sortable row per line (empty rows skipped).
• Five modes: alphabet, reverse alphabet, two length orders, word-count order.
• Stable logic: same input and options yield the same ordering.
• Copy: take the sorted list anywhere.
• Private: runs locally in the browser.

Cleaning guest lists, keywords, filenames, config snippets, or any plain-text bullet list.

Ideal use cases

• Lists: alphabetize names, titles, or tags.
• Data prep: order lines before CSV or spreadsheet work.
• Editing: reorder lines by size or verbosity.
• Dedup + sort: unique lines in a chosen order.
• Quick tasks: avoid spreadsheet formulas for one-off sorts.

Behavior highlights.

Key points

• Sorting uses JavaScript's locale-aware string comparison for A–Z modes.
• Length mode counts characters per line, including spaces.
• Word count splits on whitespace; multiple spaces still count as word boundaries.
• Duplicate removal uses exact string equality after the sort.
• Very large lists may be limited by your device's memory.

Get predictable results.

Quality considerations

• Strip trailing spaces if ordering surprises you—comparison includes them.
• Numeric-looking lines sort as text unless you use another tool for numeric sort.
• Preview before pasting sorted output into production configs or emails.
• Enable dedupe only when you truly want to lose repeated lines.
• For huge files, try a sample first.

When not to use

• When you must preserve blank lines exactly between entries.
• When multi-column CSV semantics matter—use a spreadsheet or CSV tool.
• When sort keys are mixed numeric and text and you need numeric ordering.

Plain text lines; rich formatting is not preserved. Requires JavaScript in a modern browser. Locale rules follow the visitor's environment.

Text sorting runs entirely in your browser with no server upload; sorted output updates instantly as you edit options or input lines.
