What is list sorting?
Sorting a list sounds trivial until the list is 400 names pasted from a spreadsheet cell, a column of prices mixed with text, or a set of tags in no particular order. This tool sorts any list you paste in, with the options that actually matter when the input is messy: your choice of separator (split the input by a symbol like a comma, or by a regular expression for irregular input), ascending or descending order, and whether to remove duplicates and ignore letter case while sorting.
Sorting method deserves a moment of attention, because it is the classic source of wrong results: alphabetic sorting puts 10 before 9, because it compares characters, not values. If your list is numbers — prices, scores, sizes — switch the method to numeric and the order becomes correct. Case sensitivity is the second trap: capital letters typically sort before lowercase, so 'Zebra' lands before 'apple' unless case-insensitive sorting is on.
Output order and format are under your control as well: pick the join separator so the result comes back comma-separated, newline-separated, or in whatever form the next step of your workflow expects.
Everything processes locally in your browser the moment you type — paste from anywhere, sort, copy out. Since nothing is uploaded, there is no reason to hesitate even when the list contains customer names or other data you would rather not paste into a random web service. Typical uses: alphabetizing name lists, ordering menu items or product tags, sorting numeric values before analysis, and cleaning up keyword lists where duplicates and case chaos have crept in over time.
