How does it work?

This tool sorts lines of text in case-insensitive alphabetical order (A-Z). Case-insensitive sorting means that uppercase and lowercase versions of the same letter are treated as equal. For example, "Apple" and "apple" are considered the same for sorting purposes.

The sorting follows these rules:

• Each line is treated as a separate item to sort
• Uppercase and lowercase letters are treated as equal (A = a, B = b, etc.)
• The sort is based on the standard alphabetical order, ignoring case
• When two lines differ only in case, their original order is typically preserved
• Empty lines are preserved and typically appear at the beginning

Example

Zebra
apple
Banana
cherry
Apple
dog
Cat

apple
Apple
Banana
Cat
cherry
dog
Zebra

This tool is useful for organizing lists, references, bibliographies, or any text where you need items in alphabetical order without considering case differences. It's particularly helpful when you want to focus on the content rather than the capitalization of the text.

Difference from case-sensitive sorting: Unlike case-sensitive sorting where uppercase letters come before lowercase letters, case-insensitive sorting treats "A" and "a" as the same letter, focusing only on the alphabetical position.

Parameters

• Text to sort: The input text containing multiple lines that you want to sort
• Sort order: Case-insensitive alphabetical (A and a are treated the same)
