Magic Sort List
Magic Sort List is a macOS utility for sorting text lists correctly, including entries with embedded numbers, duplicates, headers, and case changes.
What is Magic Sort List?
Magic Sort List is a macOS list-sorting utility built for users who need to clean up and organize plain-text lists without moving the data into a spreadsheet. It helps sort names, titles, inventory lines, and other text entries in ascending or descending order, with special handling for numbers so values like 1, 5, and 10 sort naturally. The app can also remove duplicate lines, strip blank entries, add alphabetic headers, and prepend running index numbers for cleaner output. Text transformation tools let you change letter case, and prefix-ignoring options help sort phrases more naturally by skipping words such as articles. Sorted lists can be saved in the app for later reuse and exported or shared to other Mac apps when needed. Magic Sort List is published by Completemagic and is designed as a focused productivity helper for Mac users working with list-based text.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate Mac utility for sorting and cleaning text lists. Its functions are consistent with a local productivity app, and the App Store listing states that the developer reports no data collection. Normal access to files or share features may be used when you import, export, or send list content to other apps, so review the text you process if it contains sensitive information.
Recommendation: Keep Magic Sort List if you use it to organize or clean up text lists on your Mac. If you no longer use its sorting, deduplication, or export features, you can remove it like other user-installed apps without affecting macOS itself.
