Line Sorter: Sort, Deduplicate, and Shuffle Text Lines
Line Sorter sorts a list of lines by code point, locale, natural number, or length. Natural number sorting places file2 before file10, unlike plain alphabetical sorting. You can also remove duplicate lines or shuffle the order randomly. Paste or drop your list, choose an operation, and copy the result when it is ready.
Line Sorter is a browser-based tool for sorting lines of text. Use it as a line sorter when you need to arrange a pasted list by code point, locale, natural number, or length. You can also remove duplicate lines or randomize the order with shuffle, making common list-cleanup tasks quick and straightforward.
Paste or drop your line-based input, choose the sort order you need, and copy the result. Natural number sorting handles numeric portions in a more human-friendly way: for example, it puts file2 before file10, where plain alphabetical sorting would put file10 first. Dedupe removes duplicates, while shuffle randomizes the list order.
A line-based text list is simple to read and edit, but its entries may arrive in an inconsistent order or include repetitions. Sorting can make a list easier to review, compare, or include in a report; deduplication helps remove repeated entries, and shuffling is useful when a randomized order is wanted. Choose the operation that fits the list and your task.
Line Sorter runs entirely in your browser. Your input is processed on your device and is not uploaded, stored, or sent to a server. The tool has no server dependency, so after the page has loaded, it continues to work offline. It is free to use and helps developers, DevOps engineers, and anyone working with text lists organize lines without manually rearranging them.
Step 1: Paste or drop your line list into the tool. Each entry should be on its own line.
Step 2: Choose a sort order: code point, locale, natural number, or length. Natural number sorting can put file2 before file10.
Step 3: Use dedupe to remove duplicate lines, or shuffle to randomize the order.
Step 4: Copy the resulting list when you are ready to use it.
Use case: Sort a list into a predictable order before comparing it with another list or adding it to a report.
Use case: Use natural number sorting to order filenames such as file2 and file10 in the expected numeric sequence.
Use case: Group equal values together so duplicate lines are easier to spot.
Use case: Remove duplicate entries from a list without retyping the remaining lines.
Use case: Shuffle a list when you need its entries in a randomized order.
Use case: Reorder a list written by someone else without manually moving each line.
