Sort Sentences

Split your text into individual sentences and sort them alphabetically or by length — useful for organizing notes, comparing sentence lengths, and text analysis.

What Does This Tool Do?

This tool breaks your text into sentences (splitting at periods, exclamation marks, and question marks) and then sorts those sentences in your chosen order. You can sort alphabetically A→Z or Z→A, or by length (shortest first or longest first).

How It Works

The text is split at sentence-ending punctuation (. ! ?) while preserving the punctuation on each sentence. Sentences are trimmed and filtered. Then sorted by the chosen criteria using locale-aware comparison for alphabetical or numeric comparison for length. Results are joined with newlines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it handle abbreviations like "Dr." or "e.g."?

The tool splits at all periods followed by text, so abbreviations may occasionally be treated as sentence boundaries. Review the output for complex text with many abbreviations.
