Text Sorter — Alphabetical Sorting, IP Sorting & Duplicate Removal
Sort line-based text in alphabetical or reverse order. IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) are also sorted correctly using numeric order.
You can also enable options for removing duplicate lines, trimming blank lines and extra spaces, and cleaning special characters or emojis during sorting.
Multiple text-cleaning tasks can be processed at once.
If you want to check text length after cleaning your content, try Vivoldi’s Character Counter Tool.

Common Situations Where Text Sorting Is Useful
Sorting member lists, product catalogs, keyword collections, or survey responses makes searching and comparing data much easier.
You can sort mixed lists containing text, numbers, and symbols regardless of their original order. This helps reduce repetitive manual editing work.
Everything runs directly in your browser without requiring spreadsheet software.
Why IP Address Sorting Is Different from Regular Text Sorting
When IP addresses are sorted as plain text, values such as 10.0.0.1 may incorrectly appear before 9.0.0.1.
This tool compares each IP octet numerically, ensuring addresses are sorted in the correct network order.
IPv6 addresses are processed using the same logic. This is especially useful for tasks where IP order matters, such as firewall configuration, access control management, or network log analysis.
Why Duplicate Lines, Spaces, and Special Characters Should Be Cleaned Before Sorting
If duplicate lines remain in the list, the final result may appear larger than it actually is. Even small differences such as leading or trailing spaces can cause identical words to be treated as separate entries.
Special characters or emojis may also affect sorting order unexpectedly. By enabling the available options, these cleanup tasks can be processed automatically during sorting.
This helps create cleaner results that are ready to use immediately without additional editing.
How to Use Sorted Results with Other Tools
After sorting is complete, the results can be copied to the clipboard and pasted directly into spreadsheets, code editors, or database management tools.
Sorted IP address lists can also be used immediately in firewall configuration files or hosts files.

What to Check When Choosing an Online Text Sorting Tool
Text sorting tools can differ significantly in both features and processing methods.
If you need to sort IP addresses correctly, choose a tool that compares IP octets numerically instead of sorting them as plain text strings.
Some tools require separate steps for duplicate removal or whitespace cleanup. This tool handles sorting, duplicate removal, whitespace trimming, and special character filtering in a single run.
Input data is processed directly in the browser and is not stored on the server, making it suitable for internal lists or work-related datasets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Enter the text you want to sort into the left input area, using one line per item. After selecting the desired options, click either Sort Ascending or Sort Descending to display the results in the right panel.
Use the Copy to Clipboard button in the result area to quickly paste the sorted output into documents, spreadsheets, or other applications.
Text is sorted based on the Unicode character order, which generally matches standard alphabetical sorting rules.
When letters, numbers, and multilingual characters are mixed together, sorting follows their Unicode values. If your list contains many symbols or emojis, enabling the Remove Special Characters & Emojis option is recommended.
Enable the IP Address Sorting checkbox before clicking the sort button. IP addresses should be entered one per line in the input area.
Addresses written in CIDR notation such as 192.168.1.0/24 are also supported. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are sorted according to their respective address structures.
Yes. Duplicate detection is case-sensitive. For example, Apple and apple are treated as separate entries.
If you want to remove duplicates without considering letter case, it is recommended to convert all text to either lowercase or uppercase before sorting.
This option removes characters other than letters, numbers, and standard language characters. It includes emojis, symbols such as !@#$%, and certain punctuation marks.
Whitespace characters are preserved. To also clean up spaces or empty lines, enable the Remove Blank Lines & Trim Whitespace option together.
There is no fixed line limit. As long as the content can be pasted into the input area, it can generally be processed.
Very large datasets containing tens of thousands of lines may process more slowly depending on your browser’s available memory.
In such cases, splitting the data into smaller batches can improve stability and performance.
No. All processing happens directly inside your browser, and no data is transmitted to or stored on the server.
If you refresh the page or close the browser, both the input data and sorting results will be cleared automatically. To keep the results, use the Copy to Clipboard button and save them in a separate file or document.
