About the Sort & Deduplicate Lines

Paste a list of lines to sort them alphabetically (A–Z or Z–A) or numerically, remove duplicate entries, trim leading/trailing whitespace and optionally add line numbers or a prefix/suffix to each line.

How to use the Sort & Deduplicate Lines

  4. Set trim, prefix or suffix options.
  5. Copy the cleaned list.

Frequently asked questions

Is the deduplication case-sensitive?

By default yes. Enable "ignore case" to treat "Apple" and "apple" as duplicates.

Can I sort numerically?

Yes. Select "numeric" sort order so that 2 comes before 10 (unlike alphabetical where "10" < "2").

Does this handle CSV data?

It operates on lines. For CSV column sorting, use the JSON-to-CSV converter or a spreadsheet.
