CSV Sort
Organize your CSV data with professional sorting capabilities. Our tool allows you to sort by multiple columns (e.g., Sort by Category, then by Price). It intelligently detects data types, ensuring that numbers are sorted numerically (1, 2, 10) rather than alphabetically (1, 10, 2). Whether you're organizing a product catalog, a customer list, or a financial export, our high-performance engine handles large files with ease. Everything happens in your browser, keeping your data private and secure.

Questions People Ask
Honest answers about how this works.
Does it handle numbers with commas or symbols?
Short answer: Yes. Values are parsed before comparison, so 1,000 and $950 are sorted as numbers rather than as text, which means 100 comes before 20 instead of after 950. Mixed columns fall back to alphabetical order, and the header row is always excluded from the sort.
Can I reallyt sort by multiple criteria?
Honestly? Absolutely. Add a second or third sort level and it only kicks in when the column above it has tied values, so sorting by Category and then by Price gives you alphabetical categories with each group ordered by price. You can set each level to ascending or descending independently.
Does sorting treat the first row as a header?
The first row is read as column names and stays pinned at the top, so you never sort your labels into the data. Quoted fields keep their embedded commas and line breaks intact while rows move, and the downloaded file keeps the original header names in their original order.
