How is “numeric” different from dictionary order?

Lexical ordering puts 10 before 2. Numeric ordering parses each complete line as a finite number, so 2 comes first; invalid numbers are rejected.

Why are duplicate lines still present?

Sorting changes order without deleting entries. Use the duplicate-line tool and choose its case and whitespace rules explicitly.

How does reversal differ from descending order?

Reversal flips the existing sequence without comparing values; descending order sorts by the chosen rule.

Can numeric mode sort version numbers or IP addresses?

No. Dotted versions and IP addresses are not single finite numbers. Lexical order is not semantic-version or address order either; use domain-specific comparison rules.

Sort lines

Sort text lines by dictionary order, numeric order or length

Computed in your browser

Put one item on each line and choose a rule for live sorting. Numeric mode needs a valid number on every line; reversal only flips the current order.

Input

Mode ignore case trim drop blanks

Output

Example

Input

10
2
1

Example result

1
2
10

Choose numeric ascending. Lexical ascending would give 1, 10, 2.

Technical details & limits

Lexical ordering uses JavaScript string comparison, not pinyin or natural-number collation. Numeric mode requires complete finite numbers on nonempty lines so abc or 12px are not silently treated as 0 or 12. Length sorting counts UTF-16 units. Duplicate lines are retained.

About this tool

Sort lines lexically, numerically or by length in either direction, or reverse their order. Options cover case sensitivity, trimming and empty-line removal for lists and configuration data.

Use cases

Sort a list of keys or fields.
Sort logs by their leading timestamp.

How to use

Paste the text to sort.
Pick sort mode and options. The result updates live.
