Hi,
I know it is possible to sort words and sort lines alphabetically in emacs
org-mode but is it possible to sort phrases ?
For example,
Face the music, Fifteen minutes of fame, A beautiful mind.
I want to sort it alphabetically like,
A beautiful mind, Face the music, Fifteen minutes of fame.
Is it possible ?
Thanks.

Would you please be so kind to explain to me how?
I have only:
org-sort-entries M-x ... RET Sort entries on a certain level of an outline tree.
org-sort-list M-x ... RET Sort list items.
org-table-sort-lines <Sort lines in region> in a table.
Is it possible to sort words like:
banana fruit chees apple
or lines like
banana
fruit
chees
apple

In Emacs everything is possible.
- substitute "," with \n
- sort region
- substitute \n with ","
Cheers,
Giovanni

Not with native org-mode facilities, I think. It is possible of
course, but you would need to write your own elisp to do it.

Hi Giovanni,
You need to put the following lines into your .emacs to sort WORDS and
LINES.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;;Sort words
(defun sort-words (reverse beg end)
"Sort words in region alphabetically, in REVERSE if negative.
Prefixed with negative \\[universal-argument], sorts in reverse.
The variable `sort-fold-case' determines whether alphabetic case
affects the sort order.
See `sort-regexp-fields'."
(interactive "*P\nr")
(sort-regexp-fields reverse "\\w+" "\\&" beg end))
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Then to sort words like
apple, mango, oranges, cat, elephant
You need to do
M-x sort-words
To sort lines, similarly do
M-x sort-lines

Hi Giovanni,
- substitute "," with \n
> - sort region

1. I am new in org-mode and emacs. Can you please tell me what is "sort
region" and what are the key bindings ?
2. Is there a way by which I can replace all the ',' with '\n' and do the
reverse automatically ?
Thanks.
