Text Sorter
Sort text lines by selected criteria
What is Text Sorter?
Text Sorter is a tool for sorting text line by line using different rules. You can sort by text order, numeric order, line length, or random order.
It also supports descending order, duplicate removal, and case-insensitive text sorting, which makes it useful for list cleanup and preprocessing.
How to Use
- Enter the text you want to sort.
- Choose a sort method.
- Toggle descending order, duplicate removal, or ignore-case behavior if needed.
- Review the sorted result.
The result updates automatically when the input or options change.
Main Settings
Sort Method
- Text order
- Numeric order
- Character count
- Random
Each option changes the basis used for sorting. Numeric order treats lines as numbers, while random shuffles the lines.
Sort in Descending Order
This reverses the final order. It is useful when you want larger values or later results first.
Remove Duplicate Lines
This keeps only one copy of identical lines.
Ignore Case
When sorting by text order, this ignores uppercase and lowercase differences.
Use Cases
- Sorting lists or keyword sets
- Reviewing numeric values in ascending or descending order
- Organizing text by line length
- Cleaning repeated lines while sorting a list
Input and Output Example
orange
apple
banana
When the sort method is set to Text order, the result becomes:
apple
banana
orange
Things to Keep in Mind
- In numeric mode, lines that are not valid numbers may not sort as expected
- Random mode produces a different order each time
- Duplicate removal is applied before the final sort result is shown
