Whitespace-Insensitive Sorter
Sort your list alphabetically or numerically while ignoring extra spaces.
Why does formatting a list always feel like solving a puzzle? Whether you're organizing a grocery list, cleaning up a dataset, or just trying to make sense of a messy to-do list, extra spaces and inconsistent formatting can turn a simple task into a headache. That's where the Whitespace-Insensitive Sorter comes in. This tool takes your jumbled list, trims the unnecessary spaces, and sorts it in seconds—ascending or descending, your call. No more manual tweaking or frustration. Just paste, click, and enjoy a perfectly organized list. It's like having a personal assistant for your text files, but without the coffee breaks.
Sort your list alphabetically or numerically while ignoring extra spaces.
This tool does not use external APIs or store your data.
How It Works
The Whitespace-Insensitive Sorter follows a simple yet powerful formula:
- Input: Paste or type your list into the text box. Each item should be on a new line.
- Trim Whitespace: The tool automatically removes extra spaces before and after each item (optional).
- Sort Order: Choose between ascending (A-Z, 1-10) or descending (Z-A, 10-1) order.
- Sort: Click the "Sort" button, and the tool rearranges your list alphabetically or numerically.
- Output: Your sorted list appears in the output box, ready to copy and use.
Example Table
Here's how the tool sorts a list of items (with and without trimming whitespace):
| Original List | Trimmed & Sorted (Ascending) | Trimmed & Sorted (Descending) |
|---|---|---|
| Apple | Apple | Orange |
| Banana | Banana | Banana |
| Orange | Orange | Apple |
