Text tool guide
Sort any line-based list alphabetically or by length
Toolyma arranges lines in ascending alphabetical order, descending alphabetical order or from shortest to longest. Each input line is treated as one list item.
Sorting and copying happen in your browser, so your list is not uploaded to Toolyma.

- Choose a sort order.Select A–Z, Z–A or Shortest first.
- Inspect the sequence.Check blank lines, capitalization and locale-sensitive ordering.

Privacy, accuracy and limitations
- Line-based sorting: every newline creates a separate item.
- Locale comparison: alphabetical modes use the browser’s locale-aware text comparison.
- Length mode: Shortest first compares the number of characters in each line.
- Duplicates remain: sorting does not remove repeated lines; use Duplicate Line Remover when needed.
