What is CSV Sort?

Sorts CSV rows by a chosen column (ascending or descending) with type-aware comparison that handles numbers correctly.

How it works

Choose a column to sort by, select ascending/descending and sort type (auto/alpha/numeric). Rows are reordered accordingly.

  1. Paste CSV. Paste CSV data.
  2. Choose sort settings. Pick column, order, and sort type.
  3. Get sorted output. The sorted CSV appears instantly.

Examples

Sort by age descending

Paste a person list and sort by age from oldest to youngest.

Common mistakes

Numeric vs alphabetical

Without 'Numeric' sort type, numbers are compared as strings (10 < 2).

Alternatives

CSV Filter

For filtering rows rather than sorting.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sort by multiple columns?

Currently single-column sort. Multi-column sort coming soon.
