Sort any list of lines alphabetically (A–Z or Z–A) or by line length.
About this Sort Text Lines
This line sorter tidies any list — names, words, products, to-dos — into a clean order. Sort A to Z for directories and glossaries, Z to A for reverse order, or by length to find your shortest and longest entries at a glance. Blank lines are dropped automatically and sorting ignores capital letters.
How to use it
- Paste your list, one item per line.
- Choose Sort A → Z, Sort Z → A, or Sort by length.
- Read the ordered list in the result box.
- Copy it into your document, spreadsheet or app.
Example
The lines banana, apple, kiwi, cherry sort A → Z into apple, banana, cherry, kiwi — and by length into kiwi, apple, banana, cherry.
Frequently asked questions
Does sorting ignore capital letters?
Yes. 'Banana' and 'banana' are treated alike, so capitals never push a line out of its natural place.
What happens to empty lines?
They are removed before sorting, so the result is a clean list with no gaps.
