Least To Greatest Calculator

This tool quickly sorts any set of numbers into ascending or descending order.

What is a Least to Greatest Calculator

This Least to Greatest Calculator is a handy tool that helps you arrange a list of numbers in ascending or descending order in a few seconds.

Using our calculator is extremely simple:

  1. Enter the numbers you want to sort, separated by commas, into the first input field.

  2. Choose "Ascending" for least to greatest order, or "Descending" for greatest to least.

The numbers will automatically appear sorted below.

How the calculator works

Despite its simple goal, this calculator leverages some Rows proprietary functions that manipulates the inputted list of numbers and renders it back in the same format.

First the list of numbers is turned into a JSON array using the APPEND() function. For example, the following list of numbers - 0,1,3,9,4 - is transformed as follows:

APPEND json

Then the calculator uses QUERY to sort the list ASC or DESC according to the user's choice (in B2):

=QUERY(APPEND(B1),"SELECT A ORDER BY A "&B2,0))

The output is then turned back into text format via TO_TEXT function and rendered as comma-separated list by replacing array's syntax with spaces and commas.

Please notice that the last clean up step could be performed also via our APPLY_TASK_OPENAI function, inputting the command in natural language, e.g. "make this list of numbers comma-separated only".

FAQ

What is the order from least to greatest?

The order from least to greatest, also known as ascending order, arranges numbers starting with the smallest value and ending with the largest. For example, if we have the numbers 5, 2, 8, 1, and 3, the order from least to greatest would be 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.

What is the ascending order of 0.7 3 10 0.05 8 15 100?

Arranging the list of numbers in the question from the least to the greatest will return:

0.05, 0.7, 3, 8, 10, 15, 100

What is 11 15 4 5 and 6 10 in ascending order?

Sorting these numbers in ascending order leads to:

4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15
