Have a list that you need to alphabetize quickly? Vim has you covered. There’s a handy :sort
command (:help sort
for optional arguments) that will do just what it says on the box. All you have to do is select the lines in visual mode (v
), and run :sort
.
What sort of arguments does it support? The most common are probably !
and i
, which reverse the sort order and ignore case, respectively. It supports some more advanced pattern-matching stuff, but I haven’t had cause to experiment with it yet.
