What is Sort Words Alphabetically?

Paste a list, one word or line per row, and get it sorted alphabetically instantly, with options for A-Z or Z-A order, case sensitivity, and removing duplicates. Useful for alphabetizing a name list, a bibliography, or a set of tags before publishing, and the duplicate-removal option catches accidental repeats in the same pass. Sorting happens live as you type, entirely in your browser.

How to Use Sort Words Alphabetically

  1. 1

    Paste the List: Enter one word or line per row.

  2. 2

    Choose Order and Options: Pick A-Z or Z-A, toggle case sensitivity and duplicate removal as needed.

  3. 3

    Copy the Result: Use the copy button to copy the sorted list.

How It Works

Each line of your pasted list is treated as one item and sorted alphabetically, live as you type. By default the sort is case-insensitive, so "Banana" and "apple" sort by letter order regardless of capitalization. Turn on case sensitivity to sort by strict character code instead, where all uppercase letters sort before any lowercase letter. The optional "remove duplicates" setting drops repeated lines in the same pass.

Example

OUTPUT

Common Use Cases

Alphabetizing a name list, a bibliography, or a set of tags before publishing, and catching accidental duplicate entries in the same pass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Sort Words Alphabetically.

By line. Paste one item per line and each line is treated as a unit to sort.

With it off (the default), "apple" and "Apple" sort together ignoring case. With it on, uppercase and lowercase sort using their strict character codes.
