What is a word sorter?
With this online tool, you can quickly and easily sort words in any text. Depending on your text's format, you can choose which parts of the text the words should be sorted in. If you choose the option "Sort Words In the Entire Text", then all words will be extracted from the text (forming a single group of words, or speaking in the fancy natural language processing terminology, forming a corpus of words) and then this group of words will be sorted just once. When the words have been sorted, they can be separated by a new delimiter (for example a new line or a comma). If you choose the "Sort Words In Each Line", then first, the input text will be split into individual lines, and then all words on each line will be sorted separately. In this case, each text line forms a group/corpus of words and in the output, the line structure is preserved (but punctuation is not preserved). If you select the "Sort Words In Each Sentence" option, then the program will rearrange the words within each sentence. In this case, each sentence will create a group/corpus of words and in the output, the sentence structure will be preserved but all sentences will end with a dot. Finally, if you choose the "Sort Words In Each Paragraph" option, then the program will find the individual paragraphs in the text (they are separated by one or more empty lines) and then it will sort the words in each paragraph separately. There are also multiple word sorting orders – the words can be sorted alphabetically (a to z), numerically (smallest number to largest number), by length (shortest word to longest word), or by complexity. When sorting by complexity, they are rearranged from the easiest word (one with many repeating letters) to the most difficult word (one with many unique letters). The complexity score for sorting is calculated using Shannon's entropy formula. With alphabetical order active, you can also use the "Case Sensitive Sort" option. If this option is on, then the tool separately sorts capitalized words that start with A to Z and lowercase words that start with small letters a to z. If this option is not active, then all words, regardless of the case, are sorted from the first letter of the alphabet to the last. Each of these sort methods can be reversed by switching from the "Increasing Sort Order" to "Decreasing Sort Order" mode. Also, since the text usually has many repetitive words, there's an option "Remove Duplicate Words", which leaves only the unique words in the sorted output. Finally, the last option is called "Output Word Separator" and it can be used to specify the character to use as the delimiter for the sorted word list in the output. Textabulous!
