CSV Sorter

Sort CSV rows by a selected column.

How to Use the CSV Sorter

Paste CSV data, choose a column and sort direction, then generate the reordered dataset. Sorting makes it easier to review names, dates, identifiers, prices and other fields in a predictable sequence.

Practical Example

For product rows with prices 30, 12 and 20, sorting the Price column numerically in ascending order returns 12, 20 and 30 while keeping each product row intact.

Factors That Affect the Result

Numeric versus alphabetical sorting, capitalization, blank cells, date formats, delimiters and quoted values influence the order. A column containing mixed data types may not sort as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can CSV values be sorted numerically?

Yes, when the selected values are recognized and compared as numbers.

Does sorting separate values from their rows?

No, a proper CSV sorter moves complete rows based on the selected column.

Can duplicates be removed at the same time?

Use the CSV Deduplicator when duplicate removal is also required.
