Six operations for putting lines in their place — alphabetical, numerical, backwards or beautifully random. Hit a button and watch every line glide to its new position in the line map on the right. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored.
Puts every line in ascending alphabetical order, comparing case-insensitively so "Apple" and "apple" land together. The sort is stable — lines that compare as equal keep the exact order they arrived in.

Apple · banana · cherry — case never breaks the alphabet.

The mirror of A–Z: descending alphabetical order, same case-insensitive and stable rules. Useful when the interesting end of the alphabet should come first — rankings, Z-first directories, reverse indexes.

cherry · banana · Apple — the alphabet, walked backwards.

Sorts lines ascending by the first number found in each one — numerically, not alphabetically, so 2 correctly comes before 10. Negatives and decimals are understood; lines with no digits sink to the bottom in their original order.
10 apples 2 pears 33 figs no number here
2 pears · 10 apples · 33 figs — then "no number here", last.

Randomizes the order of all lines using the Fisher–Yates algorithm — the gold standard for unbiased shuffling. Every possible ordering is equally likely, and every click deals a fresh hand.

Flips the order of the lines — the last line becomes the first — while leaving the content of each line completely untouched. The classic fix for logs and exports that arrive newest-last when you need newest-first.

Mirrors the entire string character by character — letters, digits, punctuation and line breaks all reversed, so "hello⏎world" becomes "dlrow⏎olleh". Unicode is handled safely, so emoji and accented characters survive the flip.

No. Lines are compared case-insensitively, so "Apple" and "apple" are treated as equal — and because the sort is stable, equal lines keep their original relative order instead of jumping around unpredictably.
They sink to the bottom while preserving their original relative order. Each line is ranked by the first number it contains — negatives and decimals included — and any later numbers on the same line are ignored.
It uses the Fisher–Yates algorithm, which produces an unbiased permutation — every possible ordering is equally likely. It draws from Math.random(), which is perfectly fine for raffles, flashcards and test data, but not for cryptography.
No. IrisTool has no backend and no database. All sorting runs inside your browser tab and disappears the moment you close or refresh the page. There is nothing to leak, because nothing is ever collected.
Yes. Once the page has loaded, every operation on it keeps working offline, because all the logic runs locally in your browser.
