Chunk and Rotate a List

Need to chunk and rotate a list quickly? This Chunk and Rotate a List tool breaks your text into equal-sized groups and lets you rearrange them instantly. Perfect for organizing data, creating balanced teams, or restructuring content. You can split lists into chunks, rotate their order, reverse them, and format the output in various ways. Works right in your browser with no downloads needed.

How to Use:

1. Enter your list items
   • Paste or type your list in the Input Text area
   • Each item should be on its own line
   • Import text files directly using the Import button

2. Set your chunk size
   • Use the Chunk size field to determine how many items per group
   • Enter any number from 1 to 100
   • Smaller chunks give you more groups, larger chunks give you fewer

3. Configure rotation settings
   • Rotate by: shifts chunks forward by the specified amount
   • Set to 0 for no rotation, or any positive number to rotate
   • Reverse chunks: flips the order of all chunks

4. Choose formatting options
   • Skip empty lines: removes blank entries before chunking
   • Trim whitespace: cleans up extra spaces around items
   • Chunk separator: customize what appears between chunks

5. Select output format
   • Separated chunks: displays chunks with your chosen separator
   • Continuous list: shows all items without chunk markers
   • Numbered chunks: labels each chunk with a number
   • Nested bullets: creates a hierarchical bullet list

What Chunk and Rotate a List can do:

Let’s say you’re organizing a weekly schedule and want to group tasks by days, then rotate them to start with Thursday instead of Monday. You’ve got 12 tasks that need to be split into 3-item chunks. Just paste your list, set chunk size to 3, rotate by 1, and boom – your reorganized schedule appears instantly. The tool handles everything from simple list division to complex rotational arrangements.

You might be working with team rosters, splitting 20 people into groups of 4 for projects. Or maybe you’re reorganizing inventory lists, breaking 100 items into manageable batches of 10. The rotation feature is super handy when you need to shift priorities or change the starting point of cyclical data. Want last week’s schedule to become next week’s? Just rotate those chunks.

The different output formats give you flexibility too. Use separated chunks when you need clear divisions between groups. Go with numbered chunks for easy reference. Pick nested bullets when you’re creating documentation or reports. And continuous list mode? That’s perfect when you just need the reordered items without any formatting clutter.
