opsort.vim

This plugin provides one thing: an operator that sorts the lines it is applied to.

Requirements

• vim or neovim
• tpope/vim-repeat (optional)

Summary

By default, gs is mapped to sort.

When applied linewise (e.g. Visual-line mode, motions, and text objects), it sorts the lines lexicographically. For example:

• gsip sorts the current paragraph (like dip).
• 10gss and 10gsgs both sort 10 lines (like 10dd).

With Visual-block mode, the selected lines are sorted according to the selected columns. For example, if the region bounded by | is selected,

Apple  |10|
Orange | 3|
Banana |40|

pressing gs will change that to

Orange  3
Apple  10
Banana 40
