Sort Text Lines Online — A–Z Lists in One Click — NeedAnyTool

A teammate dumped 80 names into chat. Finance wants the SKU list sorted. Manually dragging rows in a spreadsheet for a one-off paste is slow — and easy to mess up.

Text Sorter reorders each line. Use Alphabetical Order when you want a dedicated A–Z pass, then Remove Duplicate Lines if the sorted list still has repeats. All local in the browser.

Typical workflows

  1. Paste the raw list into Text Sorter.
  2. Sort ascending or descending.
  3. Dedupe if needed.
  4. Copy back into Sheets, Docs, or your CMS.

Sort vs alphabetical order

Both aim at ordered lists. Sorter is the general “reorder these lines” tool; Alphabetical Order is tuned for dictionary-style A–Z passes. Pick one and stay consistent for the same list.

Tips

  • Trim spaces first with Remove Extra Spaces so " Apple" doesn’t sort away from Apple.
  • Case can affect order depending on locale rules — spot-check accented names.
  • Count rows afterward with Line Counter to confirm nothing dropped.

FAQ

Is sorting private?

Yes — no server upload of your list.

Can I reverse the order?

Use Z–A / descending where offered, or Text Reverser for character-level tricks (different job).

Numbers in the list?

Lexical sort puts 10 before 2 unless you zero-pad. For true numeric order, sort in a spreadsheet.
