Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sort lines alphabetically? expand_more
Paste your list and pick the "A to Z (Ascending)" option. The [Line Sorter](/tools/line-sorter/) uses natural numeric ordering, so item2 comes before item10.
How do I remove duplicate lines? expand_more
Enable "Remove duplicate lines". Comparison is case-insensitive by default; switch to case-sensitive in the dropdown if you need to keep Hello and hello as distinct entries.
Can I shuffle lines randomly? expand_more
Yes. Choose "Shuffle (Random)" to randomize the order of all lines using a Fisher-Yates shuffle.
Does it support international characters? expand_more
Yes. Sorting uses the browser Intl.Collator, so accented letters, CJK, and emoji sort correctly for your locale.
Is my data sent anywhere? expand_more
No. All sorting and deduplication happens in your browser. The data never leaves your device.
