Number Sorter: Sort Smallest to Largest
A number sorter puts a list of numbers in order from the smallest to the largest, or from the largest to the smallest. Paste your numbers separated by spaces, commas, semicolons or new lines and the list is sorted at once. Decimals, negative numbers and scientific notation such as 1.5e3 all work, and the numbers keep the exact way you typed them. You can sort by value or by absolute value, remove duplicates, and choose how the sorted list is separated. Count, smallest, largest, sum, mean and median are shown below the list.

Frequently asked questions
How do I sort numbers from least to greatest?
Paste the numbers into the box and keep Ascending selected. The sorted list appears right away, with the smallest number first and the largest last.
Does it sort negative numbers and decimals correctly?
Yes. Numbers are compared by their real value, so -10 comes before -2 and 2.5 comes before 10. They are not sorted as text, which is why 10 does not come before 2.
What happens to text that is not a number?
It is left out of the sorted list and shown in a separate note, so you can see what was ignored.
Can I use thousands separators like 1,000?
Commas are treated as separators between numbers, so 1,000 would be read as 1 and 000. Type 1000 without the comma.
Is there a limit to how many numbers I can sort?
There is no fixed limit. Lists of hundreds of thousands of numbers sort in a moment on a modern device, and nothing is uploaded.
