A general list sorter needs to handle case sensitivity, duplicates and stray spaces together.
List Sorter sorts your lines with switches for case-sensitive order, duplicate removal and trimming.
How to use List Sorter
- Paste the list you want to sort into the input box.
- Set case, trim and dedupe options, and List Sorter orders the lines to match.
- Copy the sorted list, or download it as a text file.
Use cases
- Sorting a list while keeping case-sensitive order.
- Ordering entries and removing duplicates in one step.
- Cleaning and sorting a ragged list of values.
Good to know
List Sorter orders lines and lets you choose case-sensitive comparison, trimming of surrounding spaces, and removal of duplicate lines. With case sensitivity off it uses locale-aware ordering so similar letters group together.
Frequently asked questions
What changes with case-sensitive sorting?
Case-sensitive order separates capitalised and lowercase entries, while the default groups them by letter regardless of case.
Can I sort and dedupe together?
Yes. Enable the dedupe option and repeated lines are removed as part of the same sort.
Does trimming affect the output?
Yes. With trim on, each line loses its surrounding spaces in the sorted result.
