Privacy details

Number sorter processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Reset reloads the tool with its starting values and releases open files and device controls. Saved drafts stay on this device until you delete them.

Links include your inputs and settings. Anyone with the link can see them, so leave out private text. Files and generated results are left out; random draws run again.

Number sorter explained

Sort a list by numeric value rather than alphabetically. Negative values, decimals and scientific notation are accepted, and repeated values can either stay in the list or be removed.

A worked example

10, 2 and -3 sort to -3, 2, 10. Text sorting would put 10 before 2, which is a different task.

Before you use the result

Commas separate values; they are not thousands or decimal separators. Non-finite values and unsafe large integers are rejected. Decimal values use JavaScript precision.
