Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Text Sort?

The Text Sort is an online text tool that sorts lines alphabetically, numerically or by length. It runs entirely in your browser with no data sent to any server.

What sort orders are available?

The tool supports alphabetical (A-Z and Z-A), numerical, and by-line-length sorting. Alphabetical sort handles text naturally, numerical sort interprets lines as numbers, and length sort orders lines from shortest to longest.

How does the remove duplicates option work?

When enabled, any duplicate lines are removed after sorting, keeping only the first occurrence. This is useful for cleaning up lists and ensuring each entry appears only once in the sorted result.

Does trimming spaces affect the sort order?

Yes. When the trim option is enabled, leading and trailing spaces are removed from each line before sorting. This ensures that lines with extra spaces are sorted correctly rather than being treated differently due to whitespace.

Can I sort numbers correctly?

Yes. Use the Numerical sort mode to sort lines as numbers rather than as text. For example, with numerical sorting '2', '10', '100' are ordered correctly as 2, 10, 100, whereas alphabetical sorting would order them as '10', '100', '2'.
