Text & List Sorter

The Text and List Sorter arranges the lines of a list into a chosen order: alphabetically from A to Z or Z to A, numerically, by line character length, or shuffled into a completely random order. It is useful for tidying name lists, sorting data exports, ordering tasks, or randomising a draw or a quiz order.

To use it, paste your list, choose the sort method, and copy the sorted result. Alphabetical sorting is best for names and titles, numerical sorting for numbers and measurements, and length sorting when you want short entries first. Random shuffle is handy for draws, but run it once and keep the result, because shuffling again gives a different order and there is no way to recover the previous one.

Check how the sort treats numbers and capital letters before relying on it. A plain alphabetical sort may place 10 before 2, because it compares characters rather than values, and it may group capital letters separately from lowercase ones. Clean the list first if you need a strict numeric or case-insensitive order.

One honest limitation: the tool sorts lines exactly as written. It does not understand the meaning of entries, group related items, or fix spelling, so a list with inconsistent formatting will still sort inconsistently.
