Sort Lines — Free Text Utility

Sort Lines takes a block of text and arranges every line in alphabetical order, either A-Z or Z-A, with an option to ignore case differences (so "Apple" and "apple" sort together) and to strip blank lines from the result. This is a quick way to alphabetize a name list, sort a set of tags or keywords, organize a bibliography, or clean up any line-based list without opening a spreadsheet program. Sorting large lists by hand is slow and error-prone; this handles lists of any size instantly and consistently.
