About this tool

Sort the lines of your text into alphabetical (A-Z) order. Great for organizing lists and glossaries.

Example

Input: banana apple cherry

Output: apple banana cherry

How to use

Paste or type your text into the box above, then read or copy the result. Everything runs privately in your browser, your text is never uploaded to a server.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste or type your list of lines into the input box.
  2. Choose the alphabetical sort option if the tool offers one.
  3. Check the sorted result in the output area.
  4. Copy the reordered lines back into your document.

Step by step, what happens

  1. The tool reads your text as separate lines, not as one long paragraph.
  2. It compares the lines and reorders them from A to Z based on their text.
  3. The sorted lines are placed into a new output block so you can review the result.
  4. You can then copy the output and use it anywhere you need an alphabetized list.

Worked example

If you have a short list of fruit names in random order, this tool will sort them into alphabetical order for you.

Input: banana apple cherry

  1. Paste the three lines into the tool.
  2. The tool sorts each line alphabetically by its text.
  3. The output shows the same lines reordered from A to Z.

Output: apple banana cherry

Tips and common mistakes

  • Put one item per line, because the tool sorts lines, not commas or other separators.
  • If you have blank lines, remove them first if you do not want empty lines included in the result.
  • Check whether your tool version is case sensitive, since uppercase and lowercase items may be ordered differently.
  • Use it for glossaries, keyword lists, and reference data where alphabetical order makes scanning easier.

Frequently asked questions

Is sorting case-aware?

Does it remove duplicates?

No, use the Remove Duplicate Lines tool for that.

Can I sort Z-A?

This tool sorts A-Z; reverse the result with the Reverse Lines tool for Z-A.
