Sort Lines

Sort text lines alphabetically, by length or randomly.

100% local processing. Your data never leaves your computer

About this tool

Sort Lines organizes any text list using five different criteria: A→Z (ascending alphabetical), Z→A (descending alphabetical), by shortest line, by longest line, or in random order. Paste the list in the input, choose a sort criterion, and the sorted result appears instantly below.

To use it, open the tool, paste the lines you want to sort, and click the desired criterion button. The result can be copied with one click. You can switch criteria as many times as needed without re-pasting the text. Alphabetical sorting uses locale-aware comparison, ensuring correct handling of accented characters and special symbols.

Some practical scenarios: sort a list of names or countries alphabetically for a table; reorganize menu items or a table of contents; rank keywords by length to fit a design layout; shuffle a list of participants for a fair draw; sort lines of a configuration file to simplify comparison with another file. Developers also use the A→Z mode to normalize import lists or arrays of constants in code.

All processing is done locally in the browser, without sending any data to servers. The tool requires no registration, works on any device, and is available for free with no line limits.

Frequently asked questions

Is the tool free?

Yes, completely free with no line limit.

Is my text sent to any server?

No. Sorting is done entirely in your browser, with no data transmission.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The interface is responsive and works well on smartphones.

Does alphabetical sorting handle accented characters correctly?

Yes. Sorting uses locale-aware comparison, so accented characters (é, ñ, ü, etc.) are positioned correctly according to standard linguistic rules.

Is the 'random' order truly random?

It uses JavaScript's Math.random(), which is pseudorandom — sufficient for shuffling lists and drawing participants, but not for cryptographic applications.
