How to use this tool
- Paste the admitted text or choose one UTF-8 source file. A selected file takes precedence.
- Choose the explicit operation and options, then inspect the stated conventions and limits.
- Select Sort lines by length and download sorted-lines.txt, line-order.json.
Examples
Ascending length puts a before cat before zebra; equal-length lines retain their original order.
Limitations
- At most 200,000 UTF-16 units / 800,000 UTF-8 bytes; 50,000 logical lines and 65,536 units per line; at most 5 MiB complete combined output and 30 seconds. A selected valid UTF-8 file takes precedence over paste. File BOM and original CR/LF spans are preserved for reporting; native textarea input can normalize newlines.
- The text download uses explicit LF framing. The report preserves source-order and delimiter facts; this is length sorting, without locale or numeric collation.
