SnapToolsText Sorter
Runs in your browserSort a list of lines alphabetically, numerically, or by length, ascending or descending, with an option to remove duplicates.
About this tool
Sorting a pasted list by hand is tedious and error-prone once it's more than a handful of lines — a spreadsheet import, a list of names, a set of version numbers. This tool sorts the exact lines you paste using the comparison that fits the data: alphabetical for text, numeric for numbers (so 2 correctly sorts before 10), or by length.
How to use
- Paste a list, one item per line.
- Choose alphabetical, numeric, or length sorting, plus direction.
- Optionally remove duplicate lines, then run.
When to use this tool
- Sorting a pasted list of names or tags alphabetically.
- Sorting version numbers or IDs numerically so 10 doesn't sort before 2.
- Ordering a list by line length, e.g. shortest tags first.
- Deduplicating and sorting a list in one pass.
Tips
- Numeric sorting reads a leading number from each line — non-numeric lines are pushed to the end.
- Combine with Remove Duplicates first if you also need case-insensitive deduplication beyond exact-match uniqueness.
FAQ
- Is my list sent anywhere?
- No. Sorting happens entirely in your browser.
- Does alphabetical sorting consider case?
- No, by default it sorts case-insensitively, which matches how most people expect a sorted list to read.
