Sort Plugin

The Sort plugin arranges selected lines of text into alphabetical order.

You cannot undo the Sort operation, so you should save the file before performing the sort. To revert to the saved version of the file after the sort operation, choose File ▸ Revert.

To use the Sort plugin, perform the following steps:

  1. Select the lines of text you want to sort.

  2. Choose Edit ▸ Sort. The Sort dialog opens.

  3. Choose the options you want for the sort:

    • To arrange the text in reverse order, select Reverse order.
    • To delete duplicate lines, select Remove duplicates.
    • To ignore case sensitivity, select Ignore case.
    • To have the sort ignore the characters at the start of the lines, set the first character that should be used for sorting in the Start at column spin box.
  4. To perform the sort operation, click Sort.
