Can I sort by a text column, not just numbers?

Yes, both text (alphabetical) and numeric columns sort correctly, with the tool detecting which type each column is.

Does the header row get sorted along with the data?

No, the header stays fixed at the top and only the data rows below it are reordered.

Can I sort by more than one column?

Primary sort is by a single chosen column — for multi-level sorting, sort by the secondary column first, then the primary.

Does Sort CSV upload my files to a server?

No. Sort CSV runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

Spreadsheet software makes sorting trivial, but if you're working with raw CSV data outside a spreadsheet — in a script, a data pipeline, or just want a quick reorder without opening one — you need another way to sort. This tool sorts CSV rows by any column, ascending or descending, giving you a properly ordered file without needing to open the data in spreadsheet software first.
