How Followers Are Ranked

  • Influence here means audience: each follower is ranked by how many followers they have.
  • Verified followers are checked first, because on large accounts the well-known followers are usually verified: the latest ones X lists, then the latest 200 followers.
  • Small accounts (up to 400 followers) get every follower ranked. Larger accounts get a sample, and the page always says which you’re seeing.
  • Categories come from bios. A follower who writes "reporter at…" is marked Journalist, "founder of…" Founder, and so on. It’s a quick guide, not a verified fact.

Sort Twitter Followers by Follower Count

X doesn’t let you sort your follower list; it shows newest first. This tool does the sorting for you. For a complete, sortable export of every follower, use Export Followers, or the API for large accounts. For the newest followers in order, see Recent Followers.

For Brands: Who Really Follows an Influencer

Before paying a creator, look past the follower count:

Notable followers

Are there journalists, founders or peers in the niche, or no one of note?

Categories

Does the audience match your buyers?

Audience quality

Check how many followers look fake with the Fake Follower Checker, and what a post is worth with How Much Is My Twitter Worth.

To compare two creators’ audiences, use Audience Overlap.

Rank Every Follower With the API

For a complete ranking, page through /followers at 200 profiles per request and sort by followers_count. An account with 50,000 followers needs about 250 requests, roughly $0.50 on the Pro plan. See the followers API guide.

  • 200 follower profiles per request
  • Sort by any field you like
  • 100 free requests to start, no card
GET /v3/followersFor developers
import requests

H, params, people = {"ApiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY"}, {"username": "yourhandle"}, []
while True:
    page = requests.get("https://api.sorsa.io/v3/followers", headers=H, params=params).json()
    people += page.get("users", [])
    if not page.get("next_cursor"):
        break
    params["next_cursor"] = page["next_cursor"]

top = sorted(people, key=lambda u: u.get("followers_count", 0), reverse=True)[:20]
for u in top:
    print(u["username"], u["followers_count"])

What This Tool Can’t Show

  • When someone followed you: X doesn’t share follow dates.
  • Who unfollowed you: that needs two snapshots in time; see Who Doesn’t Follow You Back.
  • Private accounts: their follower lists are hidden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are my most famous followers on Twitter?

Enter your username above. The tool ranks your followers by their own number of followers, checking the latest verified followers first, and shows the top names with a share card.

Can I see the top followers of someone else’s account?

Yes, for any public account. Follower lists are public on X.

How do I sort my Twitter followers by follower count?

X can’t sort followers, but this tool can. It ranks them by audience size, and you can download the list as CSV.

Why does it say the ranking is a sample?

For large accounts, it checks the latest verified followers and the latest 200 followers, where notable names usually are. Accounts with up to 400 followers get a complete ranking. The API can rank every follower.

Can I see when someone followed me?

No. X doesn’t share follow dates, so no tool can show them.

What do the categories mean?

They come from words in each follower’s bio, such as "reporter" or "founder". They’re a rough guide, not verified facts.

Is it free?

Yes. You get 5 free checks a day, reset at 00:00 UTC.
