Hi,

can anybody suggest a free Windows text editor which would be able to
sort lines based on preselected column (i.e., column block selection)?
And yes, it should be somehow Windows-like in its behavior (so please,
no gVIM or Emcas -- I love them and use them, but this should be for
people who are barely familiar with Windows programs).
Thanks a lot,

Matej

Cream (http://cream.sf.net) menu item Tools> Add-ons> Sort> File sorts
files by any column. There's also a line sort, but just by the first
column.

Cream is an overlay on Vim with a CUA interface.

you mean there is an editor which makes it easier than emacs or vim?

what about copying the selected text to the beginning
of those lines, sort, and then delete the paste block?

oh, i geddit... too difficult, eh?

Well almost ;)

Zeus is shareware, but it will run fully functional
for 60 days.

Zeus has an option to sort lines based on the column text
selected.
