Sorting text alphabetically is one of the simplest but most frequently needed text operations. Name lists, keyword lists, inventory items, and reference lists all benefit from alphabetical ordering.

How It Works

Paste your text into the tool above — each line is treated as one item. Click Run and all lines are sorted in ascending alphabetical order using locale-aware comparison, which handles accented characters correctly.

Common Use Cases

Sorting name lists for directories, organizing keyword lists for SEO, alphabetizing glossary or reference terms, ordering inventory or product lists, and cleaning up tag or category lists.

Other Sorting Options

If you want to sort by line length instead, use Sort Lines by Length. To reverse the order of lines (last to first), use Reverse Line Order. To randomize, use Shuffle List.

Pipeline Use

A common cleanup workflow: Trim Leading & Trailing Spaces first, then Remove Duplicate Lines, then Sort Lines Alphabetically. This gives you a clean, unique, ordered list from messy input.
