About the Text Sorter
Organizing unordered data, names, references, glossary items, or code imports into alphabetical or numerical order saves time and improves document presentation.
How to Use the Text Sorter

- 2Choose a sorting method: A → Z, Z → A, Numeric / Natural, By Length, Reverse, or Shuffle.
- 3Configure options: Case-sensitive and Ignore leading whitespace.
- 4Copy the sorted list or download it directly as a .txt file.
How It Works & Underlying Logic
The tool parses lines into an array and applies JavaScript Array.prototype.sort with localeCompare, natural numeric collation, or length evaluators based on your sorting preference.
Natural Sort: a.localeCompare(b, undefined, { numeric: true, sensitivity: "base" })Practical Calculation Examples
Natural Numeric Sort
Sorting version numbers or item numbers
Helpful Tips & Best Practices
- •Use "Natural Numeric" sorting when sorting lists containing numbers so that 10 appears after 2 rather than after 1.
- •Use "Sort by Length" when designing poetic layouts or tiered feature lists.
