About This Calculator
This line sorter places every line in ascending or descending order. It can compare case-insensitively (so "apple" and "Apple" sort together), treat each line as a number, and optionally remove duplicates.
Useful for keyword lists, inventory, names, or any text where each line is an item.
Sorting happens locally — nothing is uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does case-insensitive sorting work?
Lines are compared using their lowercase form, so capitalization does not affect position. The original text is preserved.
Can I combine sorting with duplicate removal?
Yes. Enable "Remove duplicate lines" (exact duplicates) and the tool will both deduplicate and sort. Ignores case means "Apple" and "apple" sort adjacent but are still kept as separate cases.
