How to use the Line Sorter

Paste your list, one item per line, in the left panel.
Choose an operation: sort, shuffle, remove duplicates, reverse, or trim each line.
The result appears instantly on the right. Use Copy to copy it to your clipboard.

Available operations

Sort A → Z: alphabetical (lexicographic) sort. Use the case-insensitive option so "Apple" and "apple" are treated as equal.
Sort Z → A: reverse alphabetical sort.
Shuffle: randomizes the order of lines using a cryptographically random source.
Remove duplicates: keeps only the first occurrence of each unique line and discards the rest.
Reverse order: flips the entire list upside down.
Trim whitespace: removes leading and trailing spaces from each line (useful before de-duplicating).

Common use cases

Deduplicating email lists: paste a list of emails, remove duplicates, copy the clean list
Sorting keywords: alphabetize a list of SEO keywords or tags for a config file
Randomizing order: shuffle a list of names for a raffle or team assignment
Cleaning imports: sort and deduplicate CSS class lists, import statements, or dependency lists
Processing log lines: deduplicate repeated log entries or reverse log order (oldest first)

Tips

For best results when removing duplicates, run Trim whitespace first, this ensures " apple" and "apple" are recognized as the same line. Lexicographic sort treats numbers as strings, so "10" sorts before "2". For numeric sort, sort by a spreadsheet tool instead.
