The output is not what I expected.
Recheck the input, selected options and the limitation notes below; preserve the original before trying a destructive cleanup. Original punctuation, line structure and spacing are not preserved.
What this tool does
Word Sorter tokenises the input into individual words, then sorts those tokens alphabetically. Duplicate words remain, while original punctuation and whitespace outside the recognised word tokens are discarded. Original punctuation, line structure and spacing are not preserved. Repeated words are retained as separate sortable items.
Paste text, choose the alphabetic direction and review the extracted words.

How to use it
Paste the text whose individual words should be sorted.
Choose case-insensitive or reverse order if needed.
Review tokenisation—especially hyphens, apostrophes and non-Latin text—then copy the list.
Key features
- Individual-word extraction and alphabetical sorting.
- Optional case-insensitive comparison.
- A–Z or reverse order while retaining duplicates.
Practical use cases
- Alphabetising vocabulary lists.
- Inspecting terms extracted from a draft.
- Preparing tokens for a simple comparison or exercise.
Limitations and important notes
- Original punctuation, line structure and spacing are not preserved.
- Repeated words are retained as separate sortable items.
- Sorting is alphabetical and does not provide a word-length ordering mode.
Troubleshooting
The page becomes slow with a large input or repeat count.
Reduce the input, split the operation into smaller batches and close other memory-heavy tabs. Keep an original copy before retrying.
The result changes after I paste it elsewhere.
Test the destination app, font and character encoding. Some apps normalize whitespace or render Unicode differently.
Frequently asked questions
How do I sort words alphabetically?
Word Sorter tokenises the input into individual words, then sorts those tokens alphabetically. Duplicate words remain, while original punctuation and whitespace outside the recognised word tokens are discarded.
Does it sort by word length?
No. The current tool sorts alphabetically in ascending or reverse order and does not provide a word-length ordering mode.
Are duplicate words removed?
No. Duplicate tokens remain; use a dedicated deduplication workflow when uniqueness is required.
What are the limitations?
Original punctuation, line structure and spacing are not preserved. Repeated words are retained as separate sortable items. Sorting is alphabetical and does not provide a word-length ordering mode.
