Sort Lines Alphabetically

Reorder any list of lines from A to Z or Z to A. The sort is natural and case-insensitive, so "item2" comes before "item10" and capitalization does not break the ordering.

Sort options

  • Ascending order (A โ†’ Z)
  • Descending order (Z โ†’ A)
  • Natural numeric ordering (2 before 10)
  • Case-insensitive comparison

Everyday uses

Alphabetize lists of names, sort imports, organize keyword lists, or order CSV rows before importing them into a spreadsheet.

Natural sorting explained

A plain alphabetical sort places "item10" before "item2" because it compares character by character. Natural sorting understands embedded numbers and orders them the way a human would, which is what this tool uses.
