What does the alphabetizer do?

The alphabetizer automatically arranges your text list in alphabetical order (A-Z or Z-A). Common uses include: sorting bibliographies or references, organizing vocabulary lists, arranging customer names or product listings, tidying up to-do lists, sorting CSS properties or code snippets, and organizing academic reading lists. It supports both ascending (A-Z) and descending (Z-A) order.

How do I remove duplicates before sorting?

Enable the 'Remove duplicates' option. The tool will automatically remove identical duplicate lines before sorting, keeping only unique entries. Deduplication runs before the sort operation. This is useful when merging lists from multiple sources, cleaning up imported/exported data with duplicate records, or organizing mailing lists.

What is the difference between case-sensitive and case-insensitive sorting?

Case-insensitive sorting treats uppercase and lowercase letters as the same (e.g., 'A' and 'a' are considered equal), giving results that match natural reading habits. Case-sensitive (strict) sorting follows ASCII order where all uppercase letters come before lowercase ones (e.g., 'A'=65 comes before 'a'=97). Case-insensitive mode is best for names, places, and book titles; strict mode works better for programming contexts.

How can I export my sorted list?

You can export sorted results in multiple ways: 1) Click 'Copy' to copy to clipboard; 2) Download as a .txt file using the download button; 3) Select all (Ctrl+A/Cmd+A) in the output area and copy manually. All processing happens entirely in your browser β€” no data is uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy.

How many lines can I sort at once?

The tool theoretically supports any number of lines, but for optimal browser performance, we recommend keeping it under 10,000 lines per session. Lists under 1,000 lines are sorted instantly. All processing is done locally in your browser, so there are no server limits or network delays.
