Frequently asked questions

Can I sort one item per line?

Yes. Choose the line separator to sort a vertical list and keep one item per line in the output.

Does it sort A to Z and Z to A?

Yes. Pick ascending for A to Z or descending for Z to A. Sorting uses locale-aware comparison.

Can it ignore capitalization?

Yes. Enable ignore case and ordering treats 'Apple' and 'apple' the same, while the original casing is kept.

How are numbers sorted?

Numbers are sorted as text, so '10' comes before '2'. For numeric sorting, use a dedicated number tool.

Is my text private?

Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
