Sort selected text

[thillson]

It would be really useful to have sort capability for a selected block of text. Using Textpad I can highlight a bunch of rows of text and have it sorted by the beginning of each row. This is useful for ordering local variable declarations.

Thanks,
Tom Hillson

That is the one of the first things I wrote a plug-in for, that and finding all lines with the requested text. Since I have been using it often without problems it should be ready to give out. The only problem is the time I am taking off this week for hurricane prep at the house. That and do you have Delphi to compile the plug-in with?

Scott,
Thanks for the reply. I do not have Delphi. It is not an urgent request, just a nice to have. If you have a chance to send it or post it after the hurricane passes that would be good. Stay safe...

Thanks,
Tom

Scott,
You can send the code over to me, have it compiled in D7 and I will post the plugin to my website. Or sent it to Marco, to have it compiled with the Delphi version with which they built PL/SQL Developer. Please make sure, that it compiles correctly, because I, and I'm pretty sure Marco also, don't have the time to debug the code.
