Sublime text 2 - how to order a list of words alphabetically (DESC / ASC)


Is there any way to order a huge list of words alphabetically?

for example:

Hey
Salcaiser
Ok
Here
Strange
Weird
Gosh

By huge i mean about 500/1000 words (1 word per line) I'm on Mac osx


Solution

  • Once I've found this somewhere. It worked for me. "For alpha sort, select the lines to be sorted and hit F5. This option ignores capitalization. Hitting Control F5 will sort lines starting with capital letters first, then alphabetize lines starting with lowercase letters."

    "The Permute Lines menu options provide a few more ways to sort, including Reverse, which sorts in reverse alpha order, starting with lowercase letters, Unique, which removes duplicated lines, and Shuffle, which sorta kinda randomizes the text."

    I think General Redneck's screenshot will help. So I am adding it:
