What is Alphabetize List?

An alphabetize list tool sorts a list of items — words, names, phrases, URLs, or any line-by-line content — into alphabetical order or one of several other sort orders. Sorting lists is a common task across many contexts: organizing bibliography entries in a research paper, sorting a list of attendees, contacts, or products in a spreadsheet or database, ordering configuration items consistently in code, sorting tag lists, keyword lists, or vocabulary lists, and preparing sorted input for comparison with another sorted list. The Alphabetize List tool accepts any newline-delimited list, performs the requested sort, and optionally removes duplicate items. Sort options include ascending alphabetical (A to Z), descending alphabetical (Z to A), ascending by item length (shortest first), descending by item length (longest first), and random shuffle. Case-insensitive mode ensures that apple and Apple sort together rather than having all uppercase letters sort before all lowercase letters (as happens in case-sensitive ASCII ordering).
