What is the Sort Lines?

The sort lines works like this: it sorts lines alphabetically, numerically, by length or in reverse, with case-insensitive and natural-number ordering options. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

How to use the Sort Lines

1. Paste your text into the editor.
2. Pick the transformation or analysis you need.
3. Review the highlighted result before using it.
4. Copy the finished text back to your document.

Frequently asked questions

What is natural sort?

Plain sorting puts "v10" before "v2" because "1" < "2" character-wise; natural sort reads number runs as numbers, which is what humans expect.

What is natural sort and when do I need it?

Natural ordering puts file2 before file10 because it reads embedded numbers by value; plain alphabetical sort would put file10 first because "1" sorts before "2" as text.

How does numeric sort treat non-numeric lines?

Lines that are pure numbers sort by value; anything else is grouped separately rather than crashing the sort, so mixed lists still produce a stable result.
