Text Line Sorter
Organize your chaotic lists instantly. This tool accepts a list of text items and reorders them alphabetically (A-Z), reverse alphabetically (Z-A), by length, or even randomly. It uses a 'Natural Sort' algorithm, meaning it understands that 'File 2' comes before 'File 10' (unlike standard computer sorting).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 'Natural Sort'?
Standard computers sort character-by-character, so '10' comes before '2'. Natural sort reads the whole number, so '2' correctly comes before '10'. Vital for file lists and version numbers.
Can I sort by word length?
Yes! You can organize your list so the shortest items appear at the top, or vice versa, creating a visual 'pyramid' effect.
Does it remove duplicates?
No, this is purely a sorter. If you need to remove duplicates, use the 'Duplicate Remover' tool first, then sort the result.
