Put Any List in Alphabetical Order

This free tool alphabetizes a list in seconds. Paste your lines, click the button, and they are sorted into alphabetical order, A to Z or Z to A. It is perfect for name lists, bibliographies, glossaries, grocery and inventory lists, keyword lists, or any set of items you need in order.

You can ignore capitalization so "Apple" and "apple" sort together, remove duplicate lines, and number the result. Sorting is natural, so items with numbers order sensibly. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I put a list in alphabetical order?
Paste your list here with one item per line and click Alphabetize. The tool sorts the lines A to Z (or Z to A) and shows the result to copy or download.
Can it ignore capital letters?
Yes. With "ignore case" ticked, items are sorted without regard to capitalization, so Apple and apple end up next to each other.
Can I remove duplicates while sorting?
Yes. Tick "remove duplicates" and repeated lines are dropped, leaving one of each in the sorted result.
Does it handle numbers in the list?
Yes. Sorting is natural, so item 2 comes before item 10 instead of being ordered purely by character, which is what most people expect.
