- sub= stitute "," with \n
- sort region
- substitute \n with ","

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

Thanks.

Hi Giovanni,

You need to put the following lines into your .emacs to= sort WORDS and LINES.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
=
;;;Sort words
=A0(defun sort-words (reverse beg end)
=A0=A0=A0=A0= =A0 "Sort words in region alphabetically, in REVERSE if negative.
= =A0=A0=A0 Prefixed with negative \\[universal-argument], sorts in reverse.<= br> =A0=A0=A0 The variable `sort-fold-case' determines whether alphabetic c= ase
=A0=A0=A0 affects the sort order.
=A0=A0=A0 See `sort-regexp-fiel= ds'."
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 (interactive "*P\nr")
=A0=A0= =A0=A0=A0 (sort-regexp-fields reverse "\\w+" "\\&" = beg end))

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Then to sort words like

apple, mango, oranges, ca= t, elephant

You need to do

M-x sort-words

To sort line= s, similarly do

M-x sort-lines

Would you please be so kind to explain to me how?

I have only:
org-sort-entries=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 M-x ... RET =A0 =A0 Sort entries = on a certain level of an outline tree.
org-sort-list=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 M-x ... RET =A0 =A0 =A0 So= rt list items.
org-table-sort-lines=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0= =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 <Sort lines in region> in a table.


Is it possible to sort words like:

banana fruit chees=A0 apple

or lines like


banana

fruit
chees

apple

In Emacs everything is possible.

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

Cheers,

Giovanni
