Text Sorter is a free online tool that arranges the lines of a list into alphabetical order, from A to Z. Paste one item per line, click Process Lines, and get back the exact same list, just sorted alphabetically in a single pass.
It's useful for putting a contact list, a keyword export, or a list of product names into a predictable A-to-Z order before scanning it for a specific entry, comparing it against another list, or importing it into a spreadsheet that expects sorted rows. Sorting a long list by eye is slow and error-prone; doing it in one click removes the guesswork.
Everything runs inside your browser, so nothing you paste is sent to a server or stored anywhere. That matters if the list contains a client's contact details, an internal keyword strategy, or any data you would rather not upload to a site you do not control. The sorted list stays on your device unless you choose to copy or download it.
Drop lines, names, or keywords into the Input box, one item per line.
Every line is compared and rearranged into alphabetical order.
The sorted list appears in the Result box, from A to Z.
Use Copy for the clipboard or Download to save it as a .txt file. Clear resets both boxes.

Not currently -- this tool only sorts in ascending order, A to Z. There's no built-in toggle for descending or Z-to-A order yet, so if you need reverse alphabetical order, you'll need to flip the sorted result manually or in another program.
Not necessarily -- alphabetical sorting compares text character by character, so "10" can sort before "2" because "1" comes before "2", the same way a dictionary would order them. This is standard for text-based sorting but different from how a spreadsheet sorts numbers by value.
It uses locale-aware comparison, which generally treats case sensibly -- "apple" and "Apple" sort next to each other rather than all-lowercase words being pushed to the end the way a strict ASCII sort would. Exact ordering between mixed-case duplicates can still vary slightly by browser.
No. Blank lines and duplicate entries are kept and simply moved into their sorted position rather than being removed. Use the Remove Duplicate Lines tool first if you also want repeated entries cleaned out -- the two tools are meant to be used together for a fully cleaned, ordered list.
No -- the tool compares each full line from the very first character, so it can't sort by a later word or a specific column the way a spreadsheet can. If your data has multiple columns, this works best on single-value lists like names, keywords, or URLs.
Yes -- the sort runs in your browser using the same fast, built-in sorting engine every modern browser has, so a list of a few thousand lines sorts instantly. Nothing is uploaded to a server regardless of how long the list is.
