You can even verify it yourself: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and type into the tool — the only requests you will ever see are this page's own static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). Nothing you type is ever transmitted.

Frequently asked questions

How is length counted?
In user-perceived characters (graphemes) — an emoji family 👨‍👩‍👧 counts as one, matching what humans see.
Can I get longest first?
Yes — switch Direction to Descending for longest-to-shortest.
Do equal-length lines keep their order?
Yes — the sort is stable, and equal lengths fall back to alphabetical comparison.
Does it work on words instead of lines?
Use the primary Text Sorter's Words unit for word-level length sorting.
