Alphabetize Lines
« on: August 21, 2024, 02:18:15 PM »
How do I alphabetize a set of lines in a file (not the whole file)? There does not seem to be an options to perform such a basic task.
Thanks,
David Ashley

Use select-line (ctrl-L in CUA mode) to select the lines to be sorted.
Use Esc to get to the command line.
Enter command "sort-within-selection UI" to sort the lines.  Adjust options to your liking.
I frequently hit Esc and scroll up to my previous usage of the sort command (and a few others).

If you want to alphabetize by the whole line, try selecting the lines you want and run "sort-within-selection" on the SlickEdit command line. I don't think that it is on a menu.
