What does the Alphabetical Sorter do?

It arranges any list of words or items into alphabetical order, either A–Z or Z–A, and can remove duplicates and ignore case as it sorts.

How should my list be formatted?

You choose. Split items by new lines, by spaces, or by commas, and the sorter re-joins the result in the same style.

Can it remove duplicate entries?

Yes. Turn on remove-duplicates and the sorter keeps only the first occurrence of each item while ordering the list.

Does it sort case-sensitively?

By default it ignores case so 'Apple' and 'apple' sort together, but you can turn ignore-case off for strict, case-sensitive ordering.

About the Alphabetical Sorter

An alphabetical sorter arranges any list of words, names or items into alphabetical order automatically. Sorting by hand is slow and error-prone, but this tool orders even a long list correctly in a fraction of a second, so you can tidy references, glossaries, name lists and word banks with no effort.

The AllWordTools.com Alphabetical Sorter lets you split your text by new lines, spaces or commas, sort ascending (A–Z) or descending (Z–A), ignore capitalisation, and optionally remove duplicate entries. The sorted result appears instantly, ready to copy.

It is free, fast and works entirely in your browser on any device, with no sign-up and no downloads.

Flexible sorting for any list

Lists come in many shapes, so the sorter adapts to yours. Choose new lines to sort a stacked list, spaces to reorder the words in a sentence, or commas to tidy a comma-separated list. Whichever you pick, the items are re-joined in the same style so the output is ready to use.

You control the details too. Sort ascending or descending, turn on ignore-case so that 'Apple' and 'apple' sort together naturally, and switch on remove-duplicates to strip out repeated entries. The sorter uses smart, natural ordering, so numbers inside items sort sensibly as well.

Where an alphabetical sorter helps

Alphabetising is a constant small chore. Students sort bibliographies and glossaries, writers order indexes and word lists, and teachers arrange spelling lists and class rosters. Developers and data workers alphabetise keys, tags and options, and puzzle fans sort word banks to scan them faster.

Because the tool handles duplicates and case for you, it also cleans a list while it sorts, turning a messy paste into a neat, ordered result you can drop straight into a document.

Pro tips

Match the split option to your data — lines, spaces or commas — for a clean result.
Turn on ignore-case so capitalised and lowercase words sort together naturally.
Use remove-duplicates to clean and de-duplicate a list in one step.
Switch to Z–A when you need reverse alphabetical order.
Numbers inside items sort naturally, so 'item2' comes before 'item10'.
