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
