Just for fun - sort macro to sort a set of lines optional challenge.

[TW Tones]

Folks,

I have long wanted a replacement for an editor toolbar button, in TWV in QuickEdit to quickly sort some lines;

I just realised we can do this on the fly with a macro, not how by default it creates a link

Alternatively we can add inside each list

<$text text=<<currentTiddler>><br>

\define sort(text order:"a-z")
<$list filter="[[$order$]match[a-z]] [[$order$]match[a]]" variable=nul>
   <$list filter="[[$text$]splitregexp[\n]sort[]]">

   </$list>
</$list>
<$list filter="[[$order$]match[z-a]] [[$order$]match[z]]" variable=nul>
   <$list filter="[[$text$]splitregexp[\n]!sort[]]">

   </$list>
<$list filter="[[$order$]match[n]] [[$order$]match[z]]" variable=nul>
   <$list filter="[[$text$]splitregexp[\n]nsort[]]">

   </$list>
</$list>
\end


<<sort """
a sdsht
b adrgwskslh
z agroitgjitsij
d adrgvoistrwpwrtlko
zest
""" a-z>>

This can't handle bullets etc.. eg *

If you want a learning task consider

• what are the parameter which is the default?
• Allow a click to copy the result to the clipboard.
• Build a EditorToolbar button to sort and replace selected text (Challenge)
