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.

  1. 1Paste your list.
  2. 2Pick a sort mode.
  3. 3Generate the ordered list.
  4. 4Use word-count order to separate head from long tail.
  5. 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.
