How to use Sort Hex Values
- 1. Paste the hex values. Enter a list of separate hexadecimal numbers you want ordered by their numeric value, such as ff, a and 10 pulled from a data table.
- 2. Choose the Order. Pick Ascending to list values from smallest to largest, or Descending for the reverse. Ascending matches how most tables and reports expect sorted numbers to read.
- 3. Set the Separator and copy. Choose the character placed between the sorted values in the output, then copy the ordered list into a spreadsheet, report or config file.
When to use Sort Hex Values
Sort Hex Values takes a list of separate hex numbers and orders them by actual numeric value rather than alphabetically as text. It matters because sorting hex strings as plain text gives the wrong order once values differ in length.
- Ordering a list of memory addresses. You have a set of hex addresses from a debugger and want them arranged from lowest to highest to understand the memory layout at a glance.
- Ranking hex-encoded scores or IDs. A spreadsheet column stores values as hex strings and a plain alphabetical sort gives a misleading order, so you sort them by actual numeric value instead.
- Preparing a sorted lookup table. You are building a reference table of hex constants for documentation and want them listed in ascending numeric order for easy scanning.
Examples
