Sort lines alphabetically

Sort lines alphabetically, A to Z, with natural sorting: "file2" comes before "file10". Paste a list of names, words or file names and copy it back in order. Nothing is uploaded.

How to sort lines alphabetically

  1. 1Paste your list, one item per line, into the Input box
  2. 2The sorted list appears in the Result box
  3. 3Copy the result
  4. Your lines in A to Z order.

What you get

  • Nothing is uploaded.The sorting happens in your browser and your list stays on your device.
  • Natural order.Numbers inside lines are compared as numbers, so 2 comes before 10.
  • Sorts as you type.The result updates with every change, no button needed.

What you can do

  • Put names, words, file names or keywords in A to Z order.
  • Sort lines that contain numbers in the order a person expects: item 2 before item 10.
  • Sort in the language of your browser, so letters such as ä, é or å land where that language puts them.

Good to know

  • The order is A to Z only. For Z to A, copy the result into Reverse lines.
  • Each line is one item, and blank lines are sorted along with the rest. They end up at the top.
  • The sort follows the language's rules, not the code of each letter, so "b" lands between "a" and "c" whether it is a capital or not.
  • Duplicates are kept. Use Remove duplicate lines to drop them.

Questions

How do I sort a list alphabetically?

Paste the list into the Input box, one item per line. The Result box shows it sorted from A to Z.

What is natural sort?

Numbers inside text are read as numbers. So "img2" comes before "img10", where a plain sort would put "img10" first.

Can I sort from Z to A?

Not in this tool. Sort A to Z, then run the result through Reverse lines.
