List Utilities

Perform common operations on lists, such as sorting, finding unique items, and counting distinct entries.

About this tool

Quick line-by-line operations on a list of items — sorting, deduplicating, reversing, shuffling, and counting occurrences — for cases where firing up a script or spreadsheet is overkill.

How to use it

  1. Paste your list, one item per line.
  2. Choose an operation: Sort A-Z, Sort Z-A, Reverse, Shuffle, Unique, or Count.
  3. The result appears in the output box, ready to copy.

FAQ

What does "Unique" do with items that differ only in case?

Deduplication is case-sensitive and exact-match, so "Apple" and "apple" are treated as different items unless they match exactly.

What does "Count" output look like?

Each distinct item followed by how many times it appeared, sorted by frequency (most common first) — useful for quickly spotting duplicates in a pasted list.
