Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sort text alphabetically online? +
Simply paste your text into our input field with each item on a separate line, select "A to Z" sorting method, and click "Sort Text". The tool will instantly arrange your text in alphabetical order from A to Z, making lists and data easy to read and navigate.
Can I remove duplicate lines from my text? +
Yes! Select the "Remove Dupes" option to automatically eliminate duplicate lines from your text. The tool will keep only unique entries while maintaining the original order of first occurrences, perfect for cleaning up contact lists, inventory items, or data exports.
What's the difference between A-Z and case-insensitive sorting? +
Case-insensitive sorting treats uppercase and lowercase letters the same (so "apple" and "Apple" are sorted together alphabetically). When unchecked, uppercase letters are sorted before lowercase ones, which may separate similar words and create inconsistent ordering.
How does the random shuffle feature work? +
The random shuffle feature rearranges your lines in a completely random order each time you click it. This is useful for creating random lists, selecting items randomly for games or surveys, or mixing up ordered data to remove bias from sequential entries.
Can I sort numbers correctly with this tool? +
This tool performs alphabetical sorting, which means numbers are sorted as text (so "10" comes before "2" alphabetically). For proper numerical sorting, ensure numbers have leading zeros (01, 02, 10) or use a specialized numerical sorting tool for mathematical order.
What does "trim whitespace" do? +
"Trim whitespace" removes extra spaces at the beginning and end of each line before sorting. This ensures consistent sorting results and cleaner output, especially when dealing with copied text that may have formatting spaces or tabs from other applications.
Is there a limit to how many lines I can sort? +
There's no strict limit on the number of lines you can sort. Our tool can handle everything from small lists to large datasets with thousands of entries, processing them instantly in your browser without needing to upload files to any server.
Can I sort text in languages other than English? +
Yes! Our tool supports Unicode and works with text in any language including Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, and many others. Sorting follows Unicode standards for international text, ensuring proper alphabetical order for each language's character set.
