🔤 List Sorter
Paste your list and sort it alphabetically (A–Z or Z–A), numerically, by line length, or shuffle it randomly — all instantly in your browser with no upload required.
About
List Sorter processes every line of text entirely inside your browser — nothing is sent to a server. Paste any content: names, URLs, tasks, keywords, or numbers. Choose from five sort modes: A–Z alphabetical, Z–A reverse alphabetical, ascending or descending numeric, shortest-to-longest or longest-to-shortest by character count, true reverse (flip the current order), or a random Fisher-Yates shuffle. Two optional filters help clean up the output: ignore case keeps capitalisation from affecting the sort order, and remove empty lines strips blank entries before sorting. The result appears instantly and can be copied to your clipboard with a single click.
How to use
- Paste your list into the text area — one item per line.

- Optionally enable 'Ignore Case' to treat uppercase and lowercase as equal, or 'Remove Empty Lines' to strip blank entries.
- Click Sort and review the sorted list in the output area.
- Click Copy to copy the result to your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere.
FAQ
- What sort orders are available?
- A–Z alphabetical, Z–A reverse alphabetical, ascending numeric, descending numeric, shortest-to-longest, longest-to-shortest, reverse the current order, and random shuffle.
- Does 'Ignore Case' affect the output text itself?
- No. It only affects the sort comparison — the original capitalisation of each line is preserved in the output.
- Is my list sent to a server?
- No. All sorting happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
- How does numeric sorting work when lines contain mixed text and numbers?
- Numeric sorting extracts the first number found in each line for comparison. Lines with no numeric value are treated as zero and grouped at the start or end depending on direction.
- Can I sort a list with hundreds of items?
- Yes. The tool handles thousands of lines with no noticeable delay, since sorting runs natively in the browser's JavaScript engine.
