Solution 1

Since you didn't specify the language, you get C# from me.

Create a List<string>, add the strings to it, and use the List.Sort() method.

Solution 2

I assume your textbox is multiline.

So, you can get all the text in an string array. Then, you can make use of Array.Sort method and reset the text of the textbox with the sorted array.

In case you are using .Net 3.0 or above, you can use LINQ to sort the array (through order by keyword).

Solution 3

You may want to consider using a list box instead of an edit control (textbox). Check the documentation for your environment/language tool/library. Basic level win 32 api info is here[^]
