Lines

Tip: We sort line-by-line. Great for lists, keywords, URLs, etc.

Order

Sort mode

Natural sort handles numbers like file2 before file10. Frequency sort groups repeated lines first.
Removes leading/trailing spaces from each line before sorting.
Drops blank lines before sorting.

Waiting for bot check… this usually takes a second.

What is Sort Lines?

URLs from a crawl, SKU lists, or keyword exports — often arrive unsorted. ToolYour Sort Lines takes one item per row, sorts alphabetically (A→Z or Z→A), and supports natural sort (file2 before file10), sort by length, or sort by frequency. Optional trim, empty-line removal, and dedupe clean the list before you share it.

Honest limits: Sorting is line-based; multi-line paragraphs stay single rows unless you split them first. Very large lists may slow the browser tab — paste in chunks if needed.

Same job via REST (POST https://api.toolyour.com/api/v1/text-utilities/sort-lines) and MCP (sort_lines_post) on one API key.

What are common questions about Sort Lines?

Can I remove blank lines and duplicates?

Yes — use trim, empty-line removal, and Remove duplicates on the tool page (case-insensitive when that option is on).

What is natural sort?

Human-friendly ordering for numbered items — e.g. item2 before item10, unlike plain ASCII sort.

Is this only alphabetical?

No. Choose alphabetical, natural, by length, or by frequency — then A→Z or Z→A.

Where do I join or diff lists next?

Join sorted items with Comma Separate, or diff two sorted lists with Compare Texts in lines mode.

REST API and MCP?

REST: JSON body with text (and optional order, sortMode, dedupe, trim, removeEmpty, caseInsensitive) to https://api.toolyour.com/api/v1/text-utilities/sort-lines. MCP: sort_lines_post or plan_task for “sort lines” / “online list sorter” at https://api.toolyour.com/mcp.

What are the key features of Sort Lines?

Multiple sort modes

Alphabetical, natural, by length, or by line frequency.

One item per line

Ideal for URLs, keywords, paths, and inventory SKUs.

List cleanup

Trim whitespace, drop empty lines, dedupe before export.

Browser, REST, and MCP

Sort lists in CI or agent workflows with the same rules.

How do you use Sort Lines?

Choose sort order and mode

A→Z, natural, length, or frequency as the job requires.

Copy sorted output

Use in spreadsheets, tickets, or downstream compare/diff steps.

Paste one item per line

Keywords, URLs, filenames, or any row-based list.

When to sort first

Before comparing two crawls, before comma-joining tags, or before spot-checking duplicate URLs — sorted lists are easier to scan visually.
