Line Sorter

Sort lines alphabetically, numerically, by length or in reverse — with natural-order support.

To sort lines, paste your list above and choose an order: alphabetical, reverse alphabetical, by line length, or simply reversed. Natural order is on by default, so item2 sorts before item10 rather than after it.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my numeric sort put 10 before 2?

Because a plain alphabetical sort compares character by character, and "1" comes before "2". Numeric sorting reads the digits as a number instead, which is why it needs to be selected explicitly.

What is a natural sort?

One that reads embedded numbers as numbers, so file2 comes before file10. It is what a person expects and what most operating systems now do, but it is not what a plain string comparison gives you.
