How to sort a list of numbers online

Paste any list of numbers — one per line, comma-separated, or a mix of both — and this tool sorts them numerically, not alphabetically (so 2 correctly comes before 10, unlike a plain text sort). Choose ascending (smallest first) or descending (largest first) order, optionally remove duplicate values, and pick whether the output is newline- or comma-separated. Negative numbers and decimals are supported. Non-numeric entries are automatically skipped and flagged. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded. For more numeric utilities, try Average Calculator or Text Sorter.

What this tool is used for

Sorting a pasted list of numbers numerically rather than as text.
Deduplicating numeric values that differ only in formatting, such as 1.50 and 1.5.
Finding the largest and smallest values quickly.
Ordering a list before computing a median by hand.
Ordering a list before reading off a median or a quartile by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a numeric sorter when my editor can sort lines?: Because a text sort is lexicographic and compares character by character, so 10 lands before 2 — '1' precedes '2'. It also puts 9 after 100. This tool converts each token to a number first and compares magnitudes, which is the ordering you actually meant when the lines happen to be numbers.
What separators does the input accept?: Newlines and commas, in any mix — a list copied from a spreadsheet column and one copied from a CSV cell both work without reformatting. Tokens are trimmed, so trailing spaces after a comma are harmless, and empty entries between consecutive separators are dropped rather than becoming zeros.
What happens to entries that are not numbers?: They are skipped and counted, and the count is displayed. That is deliberate: silently dropping them would hide a mangled paste, and coercing them to 0 would corrupt the minimum and the mean. Seeing 'skipped 3' tells you your data had a header row or a stray unit suffix in it.
Does removing duplicates compare the text or the value?: The value, after parsing. So 5, 5.0 and 05 collapse to a single entry — they are the same number written three ways. If you need to preserve the original spellings, sort without deduplication and remove duplicates in a text tool instead, where identity is by characters.
Are negatives and decimals handled?: Yes, both, and they sort by true magnitude: −10 comes before −2, which is the opposite of what a text sort produces. Scientific notation like 1e3 parses as 1000. Values beyond 2⁵³ lose exactness, since parsing goes through a double-precision number like everything else in a browser.

Common errors and gotchas

Pasting values with thousand separators, which stop parsing as numbers at all.
Losing a negative sign if the input was parsed loosely.
Assuming decimals sort correctly when the locale uses a comma as the decimal mark.
Deduplicating values that differ only in trailing zeros, which are numerically equal.
Sorting a column that was paired with another, which breaks the correspondence.
