It's not necessary to copy and paste your data in order to sort it. Find your text file on your hard drive, load it, and we'll get started.
This will save a copy of your list as a text file to your hard drive.
This will save a copy of your list to your Evernote account so you'll always have a copy of it, no matter where you are.
We'll prompt you for a title so your print-out will have a nice label at the top reminding you of what the list is about.
A powerful set of sorting algorithms.
We continue to add sorts based on user requests.
If you need a sort that you don't see here, please send us a sample data set, and a brief description of how the sort should work.
Change the case of your text.
Your text can be made more legible by selecting the correct case for the application that you're using it for.
Clean-up your text.
Often your text will need to have white space, non-alphanumeric characters, duplicates, or other debris removed from it.
Define a character or group of characters that will be your 'trigger text'
This 'trigger text' will tell where we want the pruning operation to terminate.
The 'trigger text' will also be deleted.
You can prune on the beginning of your items, or on the end of your items.
Do a 'Search and Replace' across your entire document.
If you only want to replace whole words, make sure you put a space before and after your search text, or you'll end up replacing the text if it appears inside words as well.
For example, if you replace 'is' with 'at', then you'll change 'this' to 'that', unless you put a space before and after the 'is'.
This sort will randomly shuffle your list.
![]()
Remember that you can use the TAB key to add tabs to your list.
Transpose understands semicolons, commas, tabs, hyphens, and spaces between elements in the rows you are transposing.
Tabs, of course, generate the prettiest output, but only if your item length is less than a tab width.
![]()
![]()
This sort is able to handle the guest list for your next party.
It also can clean up that phone list of yours, since numbers are ignored, it will just concentrate on alphabetizing the names.
Alphabetizes by last name. If you have "and guest" or "and Bill Clinton" the main guest who is before the "and" will be used for the sort.
![]()
Alphabetizes by last name listed on 1st line of address.
If you have "and guest" or "and family" on that line, the main guest who is before the "and" will be used for the sort.
You must have a blank line between your addresses!
![]()
Ignores A, An, The, La, Le, L', Il
![]()
Alphabetizes by domain name to group addresses from same company together.
![]()
This is for web masters.
If you have a list of links that you want to alphabetize, you want them alphabetized by what user sees, not what the URL is.
![]()
This sort searches through the item text, looking for a number, anywhere within it.
It then parses that number for K, M, G, and m modifiers if they exist. [ K (Kilo) - M (Mega) - G (Giga) - m (milli) ]
Finally, it sorts your list numerically
![]()
This will sort your list by the days of the week that appear within your list items.
It will sort in the following order, Monday, Tuesday, ... Saturday, Sunday.
![]()
This will sort your list by the months of the year that appear within your list items.
It will sort in the following order, January, Februay, ... November, December.
![]()
This will spell your items backwards.
![]()
This will swap the order of your item words.
![]()
This will reverse the order of your list.
Use this when you want to reverse your previous alphabetical sort, numeric sort, etc.
![]()
You need to tell us how your data is formatted, for us to sort it properly.
You do that by selecting the appropriate separator under the "Items are Separated By" heading.
You can also change the way your data is formatted by selecting a new separator under the "I Want Items Separated By" heading.
You can add text to the beginning or the end of each item on your list.
This text can be changing such as a line number or a line letter.
