Paste a list, one item per line, and sort it into alphabetical order — with options for reverse order, removing duplicates, and more.

List input

How to use

  1. Paste your list with one item per line.
  2. Pick ascending or descending, and any extra options.
  3. Press Sort, then copy the result.

Use cases

  • Ordering spelling lists, glossaries, and bibliographies.
  • Tidying names, tags, or any set of lines.
  • De-duplicating a messy list while sorting it.

Features

  • A–Z or Z–A ordering with natural numeric handling.
  • Optional duplicate removal, case sensitivity, and article-ignoring.
  • Copyable output; nothing leaves your browser.

Data & method notes

Sorting uses locale-aware comparison, so numbers within text order naturally (item 2 before item 10). Blank lines are removed. See the methodology page.

Frequently asked questions

How do I alphabetize a list?

Paste your list with one item per line, choose your options, and press Sort. The alphabetized list appears instantly and can be copied.

Can it remove duplicates?

Yes. Turn on “Remove duplicates” to keep only the first occurrence of each item.

What does “ignore A/An/The” do?

It sorts by the first significant word, so “The Great Gatsby” files under G, not T — handy for titles and book lists.
