How to use Sort Lines
- Paste the lines you want sorted.
- Choose ascending or descending order.
- Review the sorted result for any inconsistent prefixes or padding.
- Copy the sorted list.
Practical example
Put a mixed list of item names and numbers into a stable review order.
Check your result before using it
Test lines such as item2 and item10 before sorting an entire list: textual order can differ from numeric order. Check how uppercase letters, accents and leading spaces affect the result. Sorting lines independently is unsuitable for records that span multiple lines because it can separate related fields. Keep the source and compare the line count after sorting to confirm that no entry was accidentally omitted.
When to use Sort Lines
- Alphabetize a list of names before sharing it
- Sort a mixed list of item numbers and labels for review
- Put a pasted list into a predictable order before further editing
Important limitations
- Sorting uses the browser locale and may differ from a database collation.
- Blank lines and leading spaces participate in the ordering.
Troubleshooting Sort Lines
Numbers sort unexpectedly
Remove prefixes and inconsistent padding, then sort the cleaned lines again.
