For words and names
Alphabetical
Use English alphabetical order for lists, labels and ideas. The whole line is the key; names are not rearranged by surname.

How do I alphabetize a list?
Paste one item per line, leave Alphabetical selected and choose A–Z. Sort, review the result, then copy or download. Choose Z–A for reverse alphabetical order. Items are ordered as whole lines using English text collation.
Every line stays yours
Capitalization, punctuation, spaces and duplicates stay in the result. “Ignore case” changes the comparison, not the spelling. Blank lines move to the end in both directions. Items with equal comparison keys keep their original order.
Line endings become LF. An existing final newline is kept; a newline is added when needed to preserve an empty last line. This notice appears with the result.
For numbered labels
Natural order
item1, item2, item10 instead of alphabetical item1, item10, item2. Number-aware text order is distinct from signed decimal sorting.
For another kind of order
Numbers or length
Compare signed decimals exactly, or order lines by Unicode code-point length. Choose the right method →
