Sort Lines by Length
Reorder lines from shortest to longest by character count. Useful for arranging example sentences, tags, or headlines by size, or for spotting lines that are too long; the line contents stay the same.
How to use
- Chinese, English, and symbols are all counted by character, and spaces usually add to the length.
- To find overly long lines, start from the end of the result, where longer items appear.
FAQ
Is length measured in characters or words?
It counts characters per line, not words. A long English word and a short Chinese sentence may therefore order differently than you expect; trust the output order.
How long is a blank line?
A blank line has no characters and usually sorts to the top. If you do not want it at the start, remove blank lines first and then sort by length for a tighter list.
