Right tool for the job

See the free alphabetizing service online at http://alphabetizer.flap.tv/index.php.

I know, I know. So, what. I can paste a list into Excel and sort fine. But this thing does more. It has tons of options.

You can dump in text separate by:
  • new line
  • comma
  • tab
As it alphabetizes you can have it:
  • Strip HTML
  • Ignore Case
  • Make all lowercase
  • Capitalize first word
  • Remove Duplicates (cool)
  • Reverse List
  • Randomize
  • Ignore Indefinite Articles (haven't tried but it sounds nice)

You can have it:
  • Add your own term to the beginning of each entry
  • Add your own term to the end of each entry
  • Remove the first word from each entry before alphabetizing
  • Remove the first word from each entry after alphabetizing
It won't:
  • make coffee
  • wake you up in the morning.
