Slick V3.3 manual Sort Commands

Sorting Text

The following options are available:

•Type of sort - Choose the type of sort that you prefer from the following options:

•Sort buffer - When this option is selected, the entire contents of the buffer that you are working in are sorted.

•Sort on selection - When this option is selected, each line intersecting with the selection is sorted based on the selected column. Sort on selection and Sort within selection have the same effect except when sorting a block or column selection.

•Sort within selection - When this option is selected, the selected text is sorted. Text outside a block or column selection is not moved. The Sort on selection and Sort within selection options have the same effect except when sorting a block or column selection.

•Order - Choose Ascending or Descending. In an ascending sort, the lowest text item sorted is placed at the top.

•Numeric sort - When this option is selected, a numeric comparison is performed.

•Remove duplicate lines - When this option is selected, it removes adjacent lines that are identical. This option does not fully support column selection (it always compares complete lines).

•Case sensitive - When this option is selected, the sort is case-sensitive.
