How to put a list in alphabetical order
Paste your list into the left box, with one item per line. It is sorted alphabetically from A to Z instantly, and the sorted list appears on the right. You get an alphabetical order list in seconds. Choose another sort order if you need it, then copy the result or download it.
Sort words, names and lines alphabetically
Use this alphabet sorter to arrange in alphabetical order any list of names, words, titles, references or products. Organize alphabetically in one click instead of moving lines by hand. This alphabetizer can also put words in alphabetical order for a glossary or vocabulary list. It works for short lists and for lists with thousands of lines, and empty lines are removed automatically.
Natural alphabetical sorting
Lines with numbers are sorted the way people expect: “item 2” comes before “item 10”. Letters with accents are placed correctly, and upper and lower case are treated the same unless you switch that off.
Sort by number, length or randomly
Choose “Numbers” to sort by the first number in each line, for example prices or scores. “Shortest first” sorts lines by length, “Reverse order” flips your list, and “Shuffle randomly” mixes it using your browser’s secure random generator – handy for draws and random teams.
