Frequently Asked Questions

Is this list sorter tool free to use?
Yes, this list sorting tool is completely free with no limits on list size or number of sorting operations. No registration required, and no watermarks added to sorted lists.
Is my list data uploaded to your servers?
No, all list sorting happens locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your computer, ensuring complete privacy and security for sensitive lists and personal information.
What sorting methods are supported?
The tool supports alphabetical sorting (A-Z or Z-A), numerical sorting, sorting by text length, random shuffling, and reverse order. Natural sorting handles mixed text and numbers intelligently.
Can I remove duplicates while sorting?
Yes, you can enable duplicate removal to automatically eliminate identical entries while sorting. The tool also provides statistics showing how many duplicates were removed.
How does article ignoring work?
When enabled, the tool ignores common articles (a, an, the) at the beginning of list items when sorting. For example, "The Matrix" would be sorted under "M" instead of "T".
What is natural sorting?
Natural sorting intelligently handles numbers within text, so "Item 2" comes before "Item 10" instead of "Item 10" coming first alphabetically. This creates more intuitive sorting for mixed content.
Can I sort large lists?
Yes, the tool can handle large lists efficiently in your browser. Performance depends on list size and complexity, but typical lists with thousands of items sort in milliseconds.
Can I customize the separator between list items?
Yes, you can specify custom separators like commas, semicolons, or tabs instead of line breaks. This allows sorting of comma-separated values or other formatted lists.
