Sometimes you need the individual words of a text sorted, not its lines.
Sort Words Alphabetically pulls out every word and orders them A to Z.
How to use Sort Words Alphabetically
- Paste the text whose words you want ordered into the input box.
- Choose the direction, and Sort Words Alphabetically lists every word in alphabetical order.
- Copy the sorted words, or download them as a text file.
Use cases
- Alphabetising the words of a phrase or sentence.
- Building a sorted word list from a block of text.
- Ordering tags pulled from running text.
Good to know
Sort Words Alphabetically tokenises the text into words, ignoring punctuation between them, and returns the words ordered with locale-aware comparison. The direction can be reversed, and the result is a single space-separated line of words.
Frequently asked questions
How are words separated from punctuation?
The text is tokenised so punctuation between words is ignored and only the words themselves are sorted.
Are the sorted words on one line?
Yes. The result is a single line of space-separated words in alphabetical order.
Is the order case-insensitive?
Yes. Capitalisation is ignored so words group by letter regardless of case.
