Sort selected lines without having to use narrowing
I generally only sort sections of files instead of whole files. Currently, one has to define the section to be sorted by using the narrowing function. It would be quicker and to me, more intuitive if it were possible to simply select a number of lines and having the sort function by default only sort the selection.

Apart from it being less steps for the above scenario, I'd guess that users new to this function (I certainly was...), find it surprising that when they select part of the file before giving the sort command, the entire file has been sorted.

Thank you.
