Overview
About Text Sorter
Text Sorter is a browser-based text tool built for fast, no-sign-up workflows. With this page, you can sort text lines for lists, keywords, names, tags, and exported notes, review the result immediately, and keep moving without switching tabs.

Helpful Tips
How to get better results
If your input is list-based, keep one item per line when possible so the output stays easier to review and reuse.
Use the copy or download action after each run when you want to compare multiple cleaned versions of the same text.
For longer passages, paste the content in one block first, then adjust options gradually so you can see exactly which change improved the result.
