Sort Lines for developers

For developers, Sort Lines fills a gap most developers run into daily: a small text task that doesn't justify opening a heavyweight editor, but that doing by hand is error-prone. Open the page, paste, do the thing, paste back.

Common developers workflows

  • Quick checks before sending — counts, capitalization, formatting
  • Cleanup of pasted-in content from another source (Word, Slack, web pages)
  • Format conversion to fit a target medium with strict character limits

Frequently asked questions

Can I trust the count for assignment / SEO purposes?

Sort Lines matches the published Unicode standard. Cross-check against the tool of record (Word, your CMS) if that's what's being graded against.

Is there a length limit?

Practically, several MB of text. Beyond that the browser starts to lag.

Does Sort Lines count characters with or without spaces?

Sort Lines shows both counts simultaneously, so you can use whichever your target requires.

Will Sort Lines work offline?

Yes — once the page loads, processing happens locally with no further network calls.
