FAQ

What does reverse alphabetical order mean (Z to A)?

Reverse alphabetical order means sorting from Z to A — the opposite of normal dictionary order. For example, in reverse alphabetical order the letters run Z, Y, X, W, V and so on, so "zebra" comes before "apple". Choose Z-A in the tool to sort any list this way.

What is the alphabet in reverse order?

The English alphabet in reverse order is: Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A. You can generate and copy it by typing the alphabet into the tool and choosing Z-A word sorting.

How do I alphabetize a list online?

Paste your list into the box with one item per line and the tool sorts it A to Z instantly. You can also sort individual words, comma-separated items, and remove duplicates at the same time.

Does sorting ignore capital letters?

Yes. The sort is case-insensitive, so "Apple" and "apple" are treated the same and your list stays in natural dictionary order.
