How line sorting works

A-Z and Z-A use natural sorting, so embedded numbers are compared numerically where possible: Item 2 comes before Item 10. Numeric modes are stricter and require every remaining line to be a valid number. Length modes compare character counts and use natural order to break ties.

Cleanup before sorting

Blank-line removal and trimming happen before sorting. Optional deduplication can treat capitalization as meaningful or equivalent.

Example

Natural A-Z sorting orders Task 1, Task 2, and Task 10 as people commonly expect. Lexical character-by-character sorting would place Task 10 before Task 2; this tool intentionally uses natural order.

Practical input limits

For responsive browser-local processing, each input accepts up to 2,000,000 characters and 50,000 lines. Ordinary 10-line, 1,000-line, and 10,000-line lists are supported without a server round trip.

Private, task-first processing

The transformation runs locally after an explicit action. Input values are not sent to a server, executed as code, or placed in analytics.
