Word Sorter
Alphabetize any list of words or items instantly. Remove duplicates, reverse order, and more.
How Alphabetical Sorting Works
Sorting a list looks simple, but the result depends on a few rules that trip people up. By default, text is compared by character code, which means uppercase letters (A–Z) sort before lowercase letters (a–z), and digits sort before letters. That is why "Zebra" can land above "apple" unless case is ignored. This sorter lets you choose case-insensitive ordering so words group the way a human reader expects.
Common Uses
- Alphabetizing bibliographies, reference lists, and glossaries.
- Cleaning up lists of names, tags, or keywords before pasting them elsewhere.
- Removing duplicates and ordering dropdown options or CSV values.
- Sorting word lists for crosswords, Scrabble, or language study.
Tips for Clean Results
Put one item per line for the most predictable output. Use the reverse option for descending (Z–A) order, and remove duplicates when you only need each unique entry once. If your list mixes numbers and words, decide whether you want natural numeric order (2 before 10) or plain text order (10 before 2), because the two differ. To analyse the same text instead of ordering it, try the word frequency counter.
