About the Text Sorter
The Text Sorter organizes lines of text in various ways. It's ideal for sorting lists, organizing data, randomizing items, or reversing the order of lines.
Sort Modes
- A → Z: Alphabetical ascending sort
- Z → A: Alphabetical descending sort
- 1 → 9: Numerical ascending (treats each line as a number)
- 9 → 1: Numerical descending
- Shortest First: Sort by character length, shortest to longest
- Longest First: Sort by character length, longest to shortest
- Random Shuffle: Randomize the order of lines
- Reverse: Simply reverse the current order of lines
Frequently Asked Questions
Does case matter when sorting A-Z?
By default, sorting is case-insensitive, meaning "Apple" and "apple" are treated equally. Enable "Case sensitive" to sort uppercase letters before lowercase.
Can I sort numbers?
Yes! Use the "1 → 9" or "9 → 1" numeric sort modes. Lines will be parsed as numbers for correct numeric ordering (e.g., 2, 10, 20 instead of 10, 2, 20).
