Frequently Asked Questions
How do I put words in alphabetical order?
Enter your words, select the individual words option, choose A to Z and click Sort Text. The tool will arrange the words alphabetically.
Can I sort a list from Z to A?
Yes. Choose Z to A (descending) to reverse the alphabetical direction of your list.
Can I alphabetize names by last name?
Yes. Select the last-name option and put each name on a separate line. The tool uses the final word in each line as the surname, so check names with compound surnames or unusual formats manually.
Can I remove duplicate entries?
Yes. Select the duplicate-removal option before sorting. When case-insensitive sorting is enabled, entries that differ only in letter case are treated as duplicates.
Is this text sorter free?
Yes. This tool runs in your browser and does not require an API key, account or paid subscription. Your text is processed locally by the tool rather than sent to a sorting service.
