What the Keyword Alphabetizer does
The Keyword Alphabetizer sorts your list A to Z and, optionally, splits it into letter sections — the format used by glossaries, indexes and directory pages.
How it works
Entries are sorted once, then bucketed by their first character. Non-letter starts collect under a single symbol heading so nothing is lost.
- 1Paste the list you want alphabetised.
- 2Decide whether you want letter headings.
- 3Generate the sorted output.
- 4Copy individual letter sections if you are building a page.
- 5Download the whole list when you are done.
Worked example
'salad', 'apple', 'bread' becomes an A section, a B section and an S section.
Who uses it
- Building a glossary or index page
- Producing a tidy appendix for a report
- Organising a large tag library
- Making a long list scannable for reviewers
Best practices
- Clean and deduplicate before alphabetising.
- Turn headings off when the output feeds another tool.
- Watch for entries starting with numbers or symbols.
- Keep letter sections short by filtering first.
Honest limitations
Alphabetical order says nothing about relevance, and accented characters sort by locale rules that may differ from your expectation.
Frequently asked questions
- Where do numbers go?
- Entries starting with a digit or symbol group under their own heading.
- Is it case-sensitive?
- No — headings are uppercased and comparison is locale-based.
- Can I get one flat list?
- Yes, turn off letter headings.
