  3. Sort it. Click Sort, or change an option and it re-runs. Characters are sorted by grapheme, so emoji and accented letters stay whole.
  4. Copy the result. Click Copy result. Nothing is uploaded; it all runs in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

What order does it sort in?

Characters are ordered by their Unicode value. In practice that means spaces and punctuation first, then digits, then uppercase letters, then lowercase, then everything else. Descending reverses that order.

Does it keep emoji and accents together?

Yes. The tool sorts by grapheme, the whole visible character, so an emoji made of several code points or a letter with a combining accent moves as one unit instead of being torn apart.

What does “Keep only unique characters” do?

It removes duplicate characters before sorting, keeping the first time each one appears. Turn it off to keep every character, including repeats.

Does it sort words or lines?

No, it sorts the individual characters of your text. To reorder whole words or lines you would use a word or line sorter instead.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. Everything runs in your browser, so your text never leaves the tab and the tool works offline.
