Words Sorter

Below is the words sorter script that sorts words alphabetically. Just type in the words to be sorted, separated by a comma - without any space in between words except if they are names - in the Data Field textarea on the left and click the Sort Words button. The words will appear in the Result textarea on the right sorted alphabetically and numbered.
