About the Line Sorter
This tool sorts lines of text alphabetically, numerically, by length or randomly, ascending or descending. Numeric sorting compares values rather than characters, so 10 comes after 9 instead of landing between 1 and 2 as alphabetical sorting would put it.
Sort lines to make a list usable: alphabetising names for a directory, ordering a keyword list, arranging imports, or shuffling entries to pick a random winner.
Numeric mode matters more than it sounds. Alphabetical sorting compares character by character, so 10 lands between 1 and 2 — technically correct for text, useless for numbers. Numeric sorting reads each line as a value and orders it properly.
Sorting by length is handy for spotting outliers, such as the one truncated entry in an otherwise consistent export. Duplicate removal and empty-line dropping run in the same pass, and everything happens in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How do I sort lines alphabetically?

Choose case-sensitive or case-insensitive sorting for different results.
