What Advanced Text Sorting Tool can do:

This tool goes beyond simple alphabetizing. You can sort text data by line length, by how many words are in each line, or even reverse the order. It’s smart enough to ignore duplicate entries, normalize case, and clean up whitespace before sorting. Whether you’re organizing a list, tidying a dataset, or just making content more readable, this tool gives you the control to do it quickly and cleanly. Live preview means you see results as you type or paste no need to hit refresh or resubmit.

Example:

Input:

Banana
apple
Mango
orange
banana
APPLE
Grape
lemon
pear

Output (A–Z, ignore case + remove duplicates on):

apple
Banana
Grape
lemon
Mango
orange
pear

Output (By Length):

pear
apple
lemon
Banana
orange
Mango
Grape
banana
APPLE

Common Use Cases:

Use it to organize checklists, reorder logs, alphabetize options, sort responses by length, or prep plain-text data for import. It’s fast, flexible, and works great for technical and non-technical users alike.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re doing advanced sorting, Sort Lines by Length helps you organize text based on structure instead of just alphabetical order. And if you want to clean things up first, Trim Text clears out extra space that could throw off the sort.
