Text Sorter

Introducing Text Sorter — Now Live on Tools.Town

Text Sorter sorts lines alphabetically, numerically, or by length — with ascending/descending order, case sensitivity toggle, and duplicate removal option.

Tools.Town Team 7 May 2026 3 min read

Text Sorter is now live on Tools.Town — a line-sorting utility with alphabetical, numerical, length-based, and random shuffle modes, case sensitivity control, natural sort order, and an optional duplicate removal pass.

Paste any list, sort it exactly how you need it, copy the result.

What Does It Do?

Alphabetical

Sort A–Z or Z–A. Case-insensitive mode treats uppercase and lowercase as equivalent.

Numerical

Sort lines that begin with numbers in numerical order — great for ranked lists and numbered items.

Length Sort

Sort from shortest to longest line (or reverse) — useful for organizing imports, tags, or short snippets.

Natural sort order handles mixed alphanumeric sequences correctly — ‘file2’ sorts before ‘file10’ instead of after it.

How It Works

Paste your list

Paste any text with one item per line — keywords, names, file names, tags, imports.

Choose sort

Pick alphabetical, numerical, or length sort. Toggle direction, case sensitivity, and deduplication.

Copy sorted

The sorted list appears immediately. Click Copy to grab it.

Why We Built It

Sorted lists are easier to read, easier to review, and easier to diff. Text Sorter handles the alphabetizing that people otherwise do manually — or by pasting into Excel for a sort operation. Combine it with duplicate removal and you get a clean, deduplicated, sorted list in one step.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sorting modes are available?
Alphabetical (A–Z, Z–A), numerical (for lines that start with numbers), by line length (shortest first or longest first), and random shuffle.
Can I remove duplicates while sorting?
Yes. Toggle 'Remove duplicates' to deduplicate lines as part of the sort operation — saving you from running two tools separately.
Does it handle natural sort order?
Yes. Natural sort treats 'item10' as coming after 'item9' (not 'item1') — essential for sorted lists that include numbers.
