Sort lines using the browser’s locale, ignoring case and many accent differences. Choose text order (item10 before item2) or numeric order (item2 before item10). Equivalent lines retain their input order. Paste one item per line, choose whether digits within text should sort as text or as numbers, then select Sort lines. Text order puts item10 before item2; numeric order puts item2 before item10. Both modes ignore letter case and follow the browser’s language rules. Blank lines move to the top, ties keep their original order, and line text stays unchanged. Accent ordering can vary by locale. Blank lines sort to the top; numeric order only changes how digit sequences inside lines are compared.

How to use it
Paste one item per line, choose whether digits within text should sort as text or as numbers, then select Sort lines. Text order puts item10 before item2; numeric order puts item2 before item10. Both modes ignore letter case and follow the browser’s language rules. Blank lines move to the top, ties keep their original order, and line text stays unchanged.
Limits
Accent ordering can vary by locale. Blank lines sort to the top; numeric order only changes how digit sequences inside lines are compared.
Frequently asked questions
How are lines compared?
The browser’s locale rules ignore case and many accent differences. Some locales sort accented letters as distinct letters. Choose text order, where item10 comes before item2, or numeric order, where item2 comes before item10.
What happens to blank lines and ties?
Blank lines move to the top. Lines that compare equally keep their input order; the line-break sequence and final newline remain intact.
