Hmm, the nature of jEdit is generally to not implement features in core that can be implemented in plugins. So, if You don't like this way ... do You guess my question? ;-)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
and column sort (yippee!)
TextTools plugin does sorting of the lines in a file.
Column Sort? Dunno about that.
TextTools also sorts columns:
Select a column
Go to Plugins - TextTools - Sort...
Select "sort selected block"
Click OK button
why not built into the editor like everybody else? I don't like the nature of the plugins. my plugins thing doesn't work also.
