This is one of the useful tools I’ve come across recently. The Alphabetizer is basically a service that helps you manipulate lists apart from its primary service of arranging a list in alphabetic order. The list you enter can be of different forms and still you can get yourself a meaningful output. Let’s look into how this works

The Alphabetizer

The first service, which is the arranging of list elements in alphabetical order. A list is simply a set of words separated by commas, semicolons or any other separators. These lists can simply be copy pasted into The Alphabetizer and you get the output at once. Usually, the terms are separated by a new line, meaning one term in every line.

However, you can use commas, semicolons, spaces or anything else for that matter. The service reads the list and gives you the output in the same form it received. It also gives the number of items that are sorted as well. It is essential that all the terms are separated by the same separator, if not the service stops arranging once it hits a unusual symbol!

Other Services

There are other smaller but useful services to manipulate your lists as well. Here are a few

Appending Text

You can add some text to the beginning and end of each term in the form of a label of some sort

Strip HTML

You can choose to strip HTML codes from the input and sort only the rest of the required text. Useful if you are copy pasting from a HTML Source!

Make Lowercase

You can change all the text to lowercase while sorting.

Capitalize First Word

Capitalize the first word of each list term.

Remove Duplicates

Remove duplicate terms from a list. Can be useful if same terms are added many times in large lists.

Reverse/Randomize

You can reverse the entire list to be arranged in reverse alphabetical order or simply the reverse order. Also, you can randomize the list. This can be used the give random numbers to participants in a contest and so on.

Numbering Results

You can make the list a true list by using numbers or letters before every term.

Apart from this you can prevent the Alphabetization of the list and at the same time use these other functions as well. It is a simple looking tool, but I’ve found it quite useful recently! What do you think about this? Do let me know! Thanks for reading!
