How to Alphabetize Words Quickly and Accurately
This tool puts a list of words or lines into alphabetical order. Paste your list into the left panel and the sorted result appears on the right. Use the settings below to sort from A to Z or Z to A, to sort a list written on one line with spaces or commas between the items, to put capitalized items first, or to remove duplicates.
How do I input my words for sorting?
Paste or type your list into the first panel, one item per line. If your words are on a single line, set Items separated by to Spaces or Commas and the result is joined back the same way. Blank lines and extra spaces around each item are ignored. It works with any language, and numbers inside items are sorted by value, so "item 2" comes before "item 10". If your list is purely numeric, the number sorter orders values by their numerical magnitude.
How does the automatic sorting work?
The list is sorted with your browser's language-aware comparison, so accented letters sit next to their plain equivalents rather than after Z. By default capital and lowercase letters are treated the same. Tick Uppercase first to list every capitalized item before the lowercase ones, which is how many programming languages sort by default.
Can I remove duplicates while sorting?
Yes. Tick Remove duplicates and each item appears only once in the sorted list. Unless Uppercase first is ticked, "Apple" and "apple" count as the same item. To remove repeated lines without changing their order, use the Duplicate Line Remover.
