How does the Text Sorter work?

Paste your text in the input area and choose a sort mode: Alphabetical (A-Z or Z-A), Numeric, By Line Length, or Random. The sorted result appears instantly.

Do I need to upload my text to a server?

No. All sorting is done locally in your browser. Your text data never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy.

What sorting options are available?

Five modes: A-Z (ascending alphabetical), Z-A (descending alphabetical), Numeric (sorted by number value), By Length (shortest/longest first), and Random (shuffle lines randomly).

Can I remove duplicates while sorting?

Yes. The tool has a 'Remove Duplicates' option that eliminates duplicate lines during sorting, leaving only unique entries.

What delimiters are supported?
