What the Keyword Sorter does
The Keyword Sorter reorders a list five different ways so you can find what you need: alphabetical in either direction, by character length, or by number of words.
How it works
Standard locale-aware comparison handles alphabetical sorting; length and word-count modes fall back to alphabetical order for ties, which keeps results stable between runs.
- 1Paste your list.
- 2Pick a sort mode.
- 3Generate the ordered list.
- 4Use word-count order to separate head from long tail.
- 5Copy or download the sorted result.
Worked example
Sorting by fewest words first pushes 'yoga' above 'morning yoga routine for beginners'.
Who uses it
- Preparing a readable client deliverable
- Finding the shortest terms for title tags
- Scanning a long list alphabetically
- Ordering tags before export
Best practices
- Deduplicate before sorting so repeats are obvious.
- Use longest-first to spot phrases too long for meta titles.
- Sorting is stable — re-running gives identical output.
- Sort last, after cleaning and filtering.
Honest limitations
Sorting is purely mechanical and carries no judgement about which keyword matters more.
Frequently asked questions
- Is sorting case-sensitive?
- Locale comparison treats case loosely, so 'Apple' and 'apple' sit together.
- Why do ties fall back to alphabetical?
- It makes output deterministic and repeatable.
- Can I reverse any mode?
- A → Z and Z → A cover reversal for alphabetical; use longest-first for length.
