sortby's Issues

Key bindings?

Is there a way to use this tool with key bindings?

Sort by floats

The same as sort by integer, except for numbers which may contain a decimal point. Note that if implemented in such a way that decimal point is not required, this sort becomes a superset of integer sort.

Sorting Now Deletes Lines (ST2)

Possibly due to a recent update (?) but it seems that currently sorting by any method will remove all lines.

Option to sort by frequency

Proposal:
Add option to sort each line by how often it occurred

Implementation:

1. Do a pass over document to count line frequencies
2. Order all the lines using the the line frequency as the sort key

I may implement this later and submit a pull request.

Request: Randomize lines

It would be a nice feature to have a "Sort by random" or something, to quickly shuffle all the lines into a random order.

Thanks!

Add case sensitivity option

There may be boolean value in a SortBy.sublime-settings file. Default false is good I think.

{
    "case_sensitive": false
}

Sort by the last letter

I have a tables list that I want to sort by the last letter. Because those tables are classified by suffix.

Unicode problem

Hello.

I have a text

Tools -> Doi9t -> SortBy -> Length of lines
error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Sort entire lines in selection, not only the selected characters only

In Sublime Text, the default sort function sorts entire lines in selection, not only the selected characters. Could your plugin be configure to behave this same (either by default or using a setting) please? 😉

Sort by number > lines that doesn't start with number

Is this in the scope of the plugin:

Sorting this by numbers:

* 10
* 11
* 12
* 13
* 14
* 15
* 6
* 7
* 8
* 9

and expecting this result:

* 6
* 7
* 8
* 9
* 10
* 11
* 12
* 13
* 14
* 15

Sort by lenght of lines (Decending) removes indentation

Using version 2.0.0 on Sublime Text 4113
Mac M1 v11.4

Please below see before and after screen-grabs

Sort by length of line + alphabetically

Sometimes I need to sort lines by length, but keeping alphabetical order between the lines with identical length. It can be achieved by sorting alphabetically first and then by the length.

How about creating separate sort mode for this, so we could use just one step instead of two? This way of sorting is very useful if we want to keep the code tidy, for example I like to have PHP's use statements ordered this way.

Apply to file if no selection

When there is not any selection, the plugin can apply the selected sort type to the whole file. This is the default behaviour of the native sorting feature.

For another app?

Hi. Good plugin: maybe you want make similar for CudaText?
py API is http://wiki.freepascal.org/CudaText_API
You can even make dialog for Sort, dlg_custom..

Natural Order - Should a Postfix Character Affect Numerical Sort Order?

If I run natural order sort on this set {1,1-1,1-2}, I get the expected sorted order of:

1
1-1
1-2

However, if I do it on the set {1a, 1-1a, 1-2a}, then the sorted order becomes:
1-1a
1-2a
1a

To me at least, I think the natural human sort order for these two sets should be the same, with 1/1a first. Am I alone in this?

Sort with multiple selections

Sublime Text provides a functionality via Edit > Permute Selections > Sort menu. This works like this:

When you select random words from the text and click the sort menu above, it sorts these words in place. Only words switches each other's place. No other text is edited. This functionality can be added to SortBy. However, I agree that this is not an easy thing to implement.

An example: (Bold words represent multiple selection)

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod
tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam,
quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo

After the sort: (bolds are sorted and they are still in a selection)

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, aliquip adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod
tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam,
quis nostrud consectetur ullamco laboris nisi ut exercitation ex ea commodo

On Linux, shortcut `ctrl+shift+alt+u` is used to enter a Unicode character

I have recently installed your extension, but since then I could not use Ctrl+Shift+Alt+u shortcut to enter Unicode letters in Sublime Text. That shortcut (alongside with Ctrl+Shift+u, which does not work in ST, at least in ST3+) is used to enter Unicode characters on Linux.

Now I am able to disable a shortcut using (for example) a noop command, but I am not able to restore the original behaviour (i.e. prior to asigning your command to that shortcut) without editing Default.sublime-keymap (L68-78) in your repo.

Could your fix this issues please? 😉

Add option to ignore non-alphanumeric characters when sorting alphabetically

For example, I want the list to be sorted in the order below:
"overflow",
"overflow-x",
"-ms-overflow-x",
"overflow-y",
"-ms-overflow-y",

Instead of the following:
"-ms-overflow-x",
"-ms-overflow-y",
"overflow",
"overflow-x",
"overflow-y",

How to short below values?

"error_code_21": "Update mode.",
"error_code_211": "Server UnRechable",
"error_code_24": "OPERATION FAILED",
"error_code_349": "Memory failed",
"error_code_4": "Error setting sal session",
"error_code_413": "SIZE EXCEED",
"error_code_414": "UPLOAD FAILED",
"error_code_50": "Error",
"error_code_500": "Error",

I need like below

"error_code_4": "Error setting sal session",
"error_code_21": "Update mode.",
"error_code_24": "OPERATION FAILED",
"error_code_50": "Error",
"error_code_211": "Server UnRechable",
"error_code_349": "Memory failed",
"error_code_413": "SIZE EXCEED",
"error_code_414": "UPLOAD FAILED",
"error_code_500": "Error",
