Secure random numbers aren’t available
This browser can’t provide the secure random numbers Shuffle uses, so no shuffled list was made. Choose another order, or try an up-to-date browser.
How it works
Your list goes through the same steps, in the same order, every time. Changing any option starts again from your original list.
- 1. Trim
- Spaces at the start and end of each line are removed (on by default).
- 2. Remove blank lines
- Empty lines are dropped (on by default). When kept, they always sort last.
- 3. Remove duplicates
- Repeated lines are removed and the first one is kept. “Ignore case” treats “Apple” and “apple” as the same.
- 4. Order
- Keep your order, sort A → Z or Z → A (using your language’s alphabet), reverse it, or shuffle it at random.
Questions
How are numbers sorted?
With “Natural number order” on (the default), numbers inside lines are compared by value, so “Item2” comes before “Item10”. Turn it off to compare character by character, which puts “Item10” first.
Can I remove duplicates that differ only in capital letters?
Yes. Tick “Remove duplicates”, then “Ignore case when comparing”. “Apple” and “apple” then count as the same line, and the first one in your list is kept.
Is the shuffle really random?
Yes. Shuffle uses your browser’s cryptographic random number generator with the Fisher–Yates method, so every order is equally likely. Press “Shuffle again” for a new order.
Is my list uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Your list is not sent to Biberks or anyone else and is not saved when you leave the page.
