sorting selection

[derekcohen]

If I select a number of lines in a file and then try to sort them it sorts the whole file, not just the selected lines.

Surely this can’t be right.

thanks

Sorting Selection is more so a feature-request, than a bug though.

[derekcohen]

well I disagree I’m afraid as it’s standard behaviour in any other text editor.

Disagree all you like, but if you read that thread, we are told it’s possible by Choosing “Narrowing” and then the Sort.

Just that requires 3 actions, Narrow, Sort, un-Narrow.

Thus it is hardly a Bug, just an implementation difference.
