清单帮助我们所有人跟踪事物并更好地管理我们的生活。有购物清单、待办事项清单(to-do lists)、头脑风暴清单等等。随着人们与他们的设备的联系程度，我们经常会发现自己在智能手机或 PC 上列出了这些列表。
但是，当列表变得如此庞大以至于难以管理时，它可能会成为主要的生产力杀手(productivity killer)。修剪和清理列表很重要，而且随着它们的增长对其进行组织。按字母顺序排列(Alphabetizing)和以其他方式对列表进行排序是对时间的一小部分投资，可以在未来节省更多时间。
在本文中，我们将介绍五个允许读者在线按字母顺序排列和排序文本列表的站点。
Alphabetizer是我们为在线按字母顺序排列和组织列表的最佳整体解决方案而选择的。该网站易于浏览，提供了大量选项，并且可以以两种不同的方式使用：更新版本或旧版本(old version)，某些用户可能更喜欢。

- 按字母顺序排列。
- 按姓氏字母排序。
- 按字母顺序排列标题。
- 制作小写。

使用 The Alphabetizer，可以在本地按字母顺序排列列表，而无需保存数据，或者用户可以将列表保存到URL以与他人共享。
顾名思义，WordCounter最初并不是作为对列表进行排序和字母排序的网站而构建的，但它确实提供了一个很棒的字母排序工具(alphabetizer tool)。
忽略定冠词或不定冠词的能力是使 WordCounter 的字母表在其他网站中脱颖而出的一项功能。该站点还允许用户处理基于不同分隔符的列表，例如换行符、逗号、空格或任何自定义字符。
除此之外，WordCounter支持以下排序和过滤选项(sorting and filters options)：

EduBirdie是一个写作平台，带有一个鲜为人知的字母表工具(alphabetizer tool)，实际上非常强大。它干净、简洁，并具有此列表中其他站点的大部分功能，还有一些独特的功能。
EduBirdie 的字母表允许用户选择他们的排序类型，A–Z、Z–A 或按姓氏，以及输入和输出格式(input and output formatting)：空格(blank space)、换行符、逗号、分号或任何自定义分隔符。
EduBirdie还具有一组删除选项，允许用户从列表中删除重复项、标点符号、括号、HTML或文章。
与此列表中的其他站点相比，SortMyList 是一股清新的空气。该站点的外观非常复古，其 UI 类似于Windows XP时代的桌面应用程序(desktop application)。
使用Comic Sans MS也很有趣——但不要(touch—but don)以封面来判断一本书：SortMyList 是一个非常强大的在线字母排序和排序工具。
SortMyList提供高级字母排序选项，允许用户通过对姓名、地址、标题、电子邮件、HREF(HREFs)等的特殊识别来对 A-Z 进行排序。唯一的是，如果检测到此类文本， SortMyList还可以按(SortMyList)星期几和月份(week and month)排序。
最后，按长度排序——这是几乎所有其他在线排序工具都遗漏的东西，但SortMyList支持它。
至于其他功能，有用于更改字母大小写的菜单选项——用户可以将列表转换为小写、大写、随机大小写、标题大小写(title case)或首字母大写——以及清理列表，例如删除所有换行符，修剪空格、删除空格、删除非字母数字字符、删除重复项等。
尽管设计古怪，但 SortMyList(SortMyList)在排序、过滤和按字母顺序排列列表时绝对是通用且有用的。
Gillmeister Software 的在线排序工具简短而实用。它没有此列表中其他站点的花里胡哨，但如果所有用户都需要一种快速简便的列表排序方法，它就可以完成工作。
提供的唯一排序选项是字母和“自然”，它评估每行中包含的数字的值。列表数据必须按换行符排序，用户可以升序或降序排序，尊重或忽略大小写敏感(case sensitivity)。

5 Sites to Alphabetize and Sort Text Lists Online
Lists help all of us keep track of things and better manage our lives. There are shopping lists, to-do lists, brainstorming lists, and much more. With how connected people are to their devices, we’ll often find ourselves making these lists on our smartphones or PCs.
However, when lists get so large that they become difficult to manage, it can be a major productivity killer. Pruning and cleaning up lists is important, but also organizing them as they grow. Alphabetizing and otherwise sorting lists is a small investment of time that can save much more time in the future.
In this article, let’s go over five sites that will allow readers to alphabetize and sort lists of text online.
The Alphabetizer is our pick for the best overall solution to alphabetize and organize lists online. The website is easy to navigate, it offers plenty of options, and it can be used in two different flavors: the renewed version or the old version, which some users may prefer.
The Alphabetizer supports the following sorting and filtering options:
- Alphabetize.
- Alphabetize by last name.
- Alphabetize titles.
- Make lowercase.
- Capitalize titles.
- Remove duplicates.
- Reverse list.
- Strip HTML.
- Randomize.
It also supports more complex operations, like numbering each line by number or Roman numeral, adding separators, adding any character(s) to the beginning or the end of each line, removing words, and more.
Using The Alphabetizer, it’s possible to alphabetize lists locally, without saving the data, or users can save lists to a URL to share with others.
As the name states, WordCounter wasn’t originally built as a site to sort and alphabetize lists, but it does offer a great alphabetizer tool.
The ability to ignore definite or indefinite articles is one feature that makes WordCounter’s alphabetizer stand out over other sites. The site also allows users to process lists based on different delimiters, such as newlines, commas, spaces, or any custom character.
Other than that, WordCounter supports the following sorting and filters options:
- Alphabetize.
- Alphabetize categorized list.
- Alphabetize by last name.
- Remove duplicates.
- Reverse.
- Randomize.
- Remove HTML.
- Add numbers/letters.
- Add custom text.
- Change list type.
- Ignore first/second/third/fourth word.
If any of these options sound confusing, WordCounter does a great job of explaining each and every one of them at the bottom of the linked page.
EduBirdie is a writing platform with a little-known alphabetizer tool that’s actually quite powerful. It’s clean, concise, and has a majority of the features from other sites on this list, with a few unique ones of its own.
EduBirdie’s alphabetizer allows users to choose their type of sorting, either A–Z, Z–A, or by last name, as well as the input and output formatting: blank space, newline, comma, semicolon, or any custom delimiter.
EduBirdie also features a set of removal options, allowing users to remove duplicates, punctuation, brackets, HTML, or articles from lists.
SortMyList is a breath of fresh air compared to other sites on this list. The site is very retro in appearance, with a UI that resembles something like a desktop application back in the days of Windows XP.
The use of Comic Sans MS is also an interesting touch—but don’t judge a book by its cover: SortMyList is a very powerful alphabetizing and sorting online tool.
SortMyList offers advanced alphabetizing options, allowing users to sort A–Z with special recognition of names, addresses, titles, emails, HREFs, and more. Uniquely, SortMyList can also sort by day of the week and month if such text is detected.
Lastly, sorting by length—this is something that practically every other online sorting tool has left out, but SortMyList supports it.
As far as other features go, there are menu options for changing letter casing—where users can transform lists to lower case, uppercase, random case, title case, or capitalize first letters—and cleaning up lists, such as removing all line breaks, trimming spaces, removing whitespace, removing non-alphanumeric characters, removing duplicates, and more.
Despite its quirky design, SortMyList is definitely versatile and useful when it comes to sorting, filtering, and alphabetizing lists.
Gillmeister Software’s online sorting tool is short and sweet. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles of other sites on this list, but it gets the job done if all users need is a quick and easy way to sort lists.
The only sorting options offered are alphabetical and “natural,” which evaluates the value of the contained numbers in each line. Lists data must be sorted by newlines, and users can sort ascending or descending, respecting or ignoring case sensitivity.
Sometimes less can be more, and for users who are simply looking for a fast and simple way to sort a list in the most basic ways, this tool from Gillmeister Software works great.
Taking the few seconds it requires to sort a list using one of the tools above can save users from a long road of annoyance and wasted time in the future. Leave us a comment below if you have any questions or comments about any of the sites featured in this article.
