How do I sort lines of text?

Paste your text into the input area and choose a sort mode — A-Z, Z-A, shortest first, longest first, numeric ascending, numeric descending, or random shuffle. The sorted output appears instantly.

Is sorting case-sensitive?

By default yes — uppercase letters sort before lowercase. Toggle the case-insensitive option to sort purely by letter value regardless of case.

Can I remove empty lines while sorting?

Yes — enable the "Remove empty lines" option to strip blank lines from the output. Combined with trim whitespace, this cleans up messy input.

What does the numeric sort do?

Numeric sort treats each line as a number and sorts by value rather than alphabetically. Lines that cannot be parsed as numbers are sorted to the end.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No — all sorting runs in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never transmitted to any server.
