How to Sort Lines Alphabetically for Cleaner Lists

Alphabetical sorting makes lists easier to scan and compare. It is useful for keywords, names, labels, categories, product titles, locations, and short notes.

Example unsorted list

Orange
apple
Banana
grape

How to sort

1. Paste one item per line.
2. Click Trim Whitespace if the list came from a spreadsheet or PDF.
3. Click Use, then click Sort A to Z.

Output

apple
Banana
grape
Orange

Before sorting

Remove empty lines first if the input contains large gaps. Remove duplicates first if you only want one copy of each item. If case differences matter, keep the original capitalization; if not, lowercase the list before deduplicating and sorting.
