Sorting

The sorting icon represents the action of arranging items in a specific order, often based on certain criteria such as alphabetical order, numerical value, or categorical classification. This icon is commonly used in digital interfaces to facilitate data organization and management.

In real-world applications, the sorting icon appears in various software and platforms, such as spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel, data analysis tools like Tableau, and e-commerce websites like Amazon. It allows users to quickly and easily arrange data in a meaningful way, making it easier to analyze and understand.

From a UX perspective, the sorting icon communicates the ability to reorganize and restructure data. It helps users understand that they can customize the presentation of information to suit their needs, making it easier to extract insights and make informed decisions. The icon's visual representation of rearranging items reinforces the idea of flexibility and control.

Sorting is one of 298 icons in Unicons Monochrome, made by Iconscout and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds SortingIcon to components/icons/uim-sorting.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 SortingIcon 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 Sorting icon, or any of 298 Unicons Monochrome 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.

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="Sorting", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SortingIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SortingIcon 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. Apache 2.0 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: Apache 2.0 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 Unicons Monochrome, Iconscout and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
