Alphabetize List
Alphabetize list items in one step: sort A to Z or Z to A, shuffle, or reverse, and clean out duplicates along the way.
About
Alphabetize a List in Seconds
Sorting by hand is slow and easy to get wrong. This alphabetical order tool takes any list, however long, and returns it sorted in the blink of an eye, following your browser’s language rules so accented letters land where a reader expects.
Need to clean the list first? The text cleaner removes extra spaces and empty lines, and find and replace fixes repeated typos across every item.
Guide
How to Use the Alphabetize List
Paste your list into the left box, one item per line, or choose a different separator such as commas.
Pick an order: A → Z, Z → A, Shuffle, or Reverse (flip the original order).
Turn on the options you need, such as removing duplicates or ignoring “the” so “The Beatles” sorts under B.
Copy the result or download it as a .txt file.
Features
Key Features
A to Z and reverse alphabetical order
Sort list alphabetically in either direction, with numbers ordered by value so “Item 2” comes before “Item 10”.
Remove duplicates from a list
Drop repeated items as you sort, with or without matching case.
Randomize a list
Shuffle items fairly for draws, teams, or presentation order, then shuffle again.
Any separator
Works with lines, commas, semicolons, tabs, spaces, or a custom separator, and keeps the same format in the result.

A quick list sorter for emails, product names, and tags pasted from a spreadsheet.
Are numbers sorted correctly?
Yes. Numbers inside items are compared by value, so “Item 2” comes before “Item 10”. Many simple alphabetizer tools put “10” first because they compare text character by character.
How does “Ignore case” affect duplicates?
With Ignore case on, “Apple” and “apple” sort together and count as duplicates, keeping the first one. Turn it off to treat them as different items.
Can I use it as an alphabetical order generator for comma lists?
Yes. Choose Comma, Semicolon, Tab, Space, or a custom separator. The result uses the same separator, so a comma list stays a comma list.
