Alphabetizer FAQ
What is an alphabetizer?
An alphabetizer sorts a list of words or lines into alphabetical order. This tool can sort A-Z or Z-A while also cleaning spaces, blank lines, and duplicates.
Can I alphabetize names, citations, or numbered items?
Yes. Paste one item per line. Natural sorting keeps numbered items such as Lesson 2 before Lesson 11, and the article option can sort titles without A, An, or The.
Does the alphabetizer upload or save my list?
No. Your list is sorted entirely in your browser and is not uploaded or stored by this tool.
How does duplicate removal handle capital letters?
With case-sensitive sorting off, Apple and apple count as duplicates. Turn case sensitivity on when differently capitalized entries must remain separate.
