Line Sorter
Line Sorter reorders any block of text line by line — alphabetically forwards or backwards, by line length, or completely at random. It's a quick way to organize lists, tidy up spreadsheets pasted as plain text, or randomize the order of items for a raffle or quiz.
Writers, teachers, and developers working with lists all find uses for quick sorting without opening a full spreadsheet app. Sorting happens instantly using JavaScript right in your browser, so your list is never uploaded to a server.
How to Use the Line Sorter
- Open the Line Sorter tool.
- Paste in the lines you want to sort.
- Choose a sort order: alphabetical, reverse, by length, or random.
- Copy the newly sorted list.
