Line Sorter

The Line Sorter is a straightforward but powerful text utility that takes any block of multi-line text and reorders each line according to your chosen sorting method. Whether you need alphabetical, reverse alphabetical, numerical, or length-based ordering, the tool processes your input instantly and returns neatly sorted output ready to copy and use. No setup, no installation — just paste and sort.

For developers, keeping text data organized is a surprisingly frequent task. Sorting a list of environment variable names, reordering a set of CSS class names, cleaning up a configuration file, or organizing a batch of test values are all common scenarios where manual sorting wastes time and introduces human error. This tool eliminates that friction, letting you focus on what actually matters in your workflow.

Using the Line Sorter is as simple as pasting your text into the input area — one item per line — and selecting your desired sort order. Choose from options such as A→Z (ascending alphabetical), Z→A (descending alphabetical), numerical ascending or descending, or sort by line length. Click the sort button and the reordered text appears immediately in the output panel, ready to copy with a single click.

The tool treats each newline-delimited string as a discrete unit, so lines containing spaces, punctuation, or mixed content are handled correctly as whole items. For numerical sorting, lines that contain leading numeric values are ranked by their numeric magnitude rather than lexicographic order — meaning '10' correctly comes after '9' instead of before it as it would in a plain alphabetical sort.

A few edge cases worth knowing: blank lines are preserved in the output by default, so if you want to strip them out, consider running the result through a whitespace remover afterward. Case sensitivity can affect alphabetical order depending on the sort mode — uppercase letters may rank before lowercase in standard ASCII ordering, so check the output if your list mixes cases and order matters precisely.
