I tried recording a macro to sort a selection by doing
Narrowing on
Sort a-z
Narrowing off

but it merely recorded mouse positions.

What’s the API calls for this?

thanks

Hello Derek,

Not all operations are recorded automatically. Please see Help for macro methods. Here is an example:

Narrowing on:
editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4457);

Narrowing off:
editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4458);
http://www.emeditor.com/help/cmd/edit/narrowing_off.htm

Sort A to Z:
editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4477);
http://www.emeditor.com/help/cmd/edit/sort_text_a.htm

That’s great.

I have created a macro

//narrowing on
editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4457);
//sort A-Z
editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4477);
//narrowing off
editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4458);

and added it to one of the menus but it displays the name of the macro file – is there a way for it to display “Sort selection” rather than “sortselection.jsee”

thanks

Hello Derek,

When you add a macro to a menu, there is a text box called “Name” on the Menu Properties. You can enter whatever name you want to be appeared in the menu.
