About Text Sorter
Sorting a list by hand is tedious and error-prone, whether it's a stack of names, a glossary, or a column of items you copied out of a spreadsheet. A few entries are easy, but once the list grows you really want a tool to do it for you. Text Sorter reorders your lines for you so the result is consistent every time.
With ToolHub's Text Sorter you paste your lines and choose how to order them, alphabetically or by length, and the sorted list appears instantly. It all happens in your browser with no signup and no upload. The tool is free to use as much as you need, and because nothing is sent to a server, your list stays private on your device.
Common uses
- Alphabetizing names, terms, or a glossary
- Ordering a to-do or inventory list for easier scanning

FAQ
Can I sort by length instead of alphabetically?
Yes. You can choose alphabetical order or order lines by their length.
Does sorting change my original text?
Your input stays as you pasted it; the sorted version is produced separately for you to copy.
How are numbers and symbols sorted?
Lines are compared character by character, so numbers and symbols sort by their character order, not numeric value.
Can I use Text Sorter on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
