What this does

Line Sorter sorts lines of text alphabetically (A→Z or Z→A), in reverse order, or shuffled randomly. Optionally case-sensitive and with blank lines removed.

When to use it

  • Sorting a list of names, URLs, or emails alphabetically
  • Reordering a CSV by the first column
  • Shuffling a list for random sampling
  • Cleaning up a messy text file by alphabetizing it

Frequently asked

How does case sensitivity affect sorting?

Case-insensitive treats 'Apple' and 'apple' as equal. Case-sensitive puts all uppercase letters before all lowercase (ASCII order).

Is the shuffle truly random?

It uses the Fisher-Yates algorithm with Math.random — pseudo-random but good enough for everyday shuffles.
