Quick answer
This line sorter takes pasted multiline text and reorders each line alphabetically, numerically, or by line length. It can also trim lines, remove empty lines, deduplicate repeated entries, and switch between ascending and descending order without uploading the list.

- 2. Pick the sort ruleUse alphabetic for text, numeric for numbers, or length when you need shortest-to-longest or longest-to-shortest output.
- 3. Clean and copy the resultEnable trim, skip empty lines, dedupe, or descending order before copying the sorted output.
