Frequently asked questions
What the Sort icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The sort icon represents sorting functionality, data arrangement, and order control features in data management and list applications. Featuring arrows or bars indicating sorting direction, this organizational indicator has become the standard symbol for sorting lists, arranging data, and controlling order across digital platforms.
In modern applications like spreadsheet tools such as Google Sheets and Excel for column sorting, e-commerce platforms with product sorting options, or data tables in admin dashboards with sortable columns, you'll see this icon representing sorting and arrangement functionality. It appears in table headers for sort control triggers, in filter panels for ordering options, or in list interfaces for arrangement toggles.
From a data organization perspective, the sort symbol communicates more than just 'arrange' - it specifically indicates ordered data presentation, customizable arrangement, and the flexible sorting mechanisms that help users find and analyze information efficiently.
Sort is one of 458 icons in Akar Icons, made by Arturo Wibawa and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds SortIcon to components/icons/akar-icons-sort.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed SortIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.
Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Sort icon, or any of 458 Akar Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.
Sort is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.
Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.
Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Sort", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. SortIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SortIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Akar Icons, Arturo Wibawa and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
8 other libraries draw an icon called Sort. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.
Its tags are data, filter, order, sort, arrange and organize. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Sort in another set.
Akar Icons draws many icons in several styles: Fill next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Sort's siblings in it.
