- 3Copy the sorted list or download it.
Natural sort
Plain alphabetical sorting puts “item 10” before “item 2” because it compares character by character. Natural sorting reads the numbers as numbers, so “item 2” comes before “item 10”, the way people expect.
Language-aware
Alphabetical order follows the rules of your language, so accented letters sort next to their plain versions instead of after Z.
Fair shuffling
Shuffle uses your browser's secure random number generator, so every order is equally likely. It's good for picking winners or randomizing a quiz.
