Hi Giovanni,

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

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.
