sorting cdr of form in Emacs/SLIME?

[Tamas Papp]

Hi,

I like to sort some forms alphabetically, especially in package/system
definitions. Eg instead of

(asdf:load-systems "cl-slice"
"let-plus"
"alexandria")

I prefer

(asdf:load-systems "alexandria"
"cl-slice"
"let-plus")

Is there a way I can sort the CDR of a form in Emacs/SLIME? Would
really help when tidying up code.

Best,

Tamas

Suppose you have a form like:, first put the cursor here,

(666:load-systems "cl-slice"
;;;(1) -----------^
"let-plus"
"alexandria")

Then hit Ctrl-Space to set the mark. M-x set-mark-command

Then move the cursor here
(666:load-systems "cl-slice"
"let-plus"
"alexandria")
;;;(2) -----------------------^

To select the region.

Then type M-x sort-words

PS: I don't recommend you use any of those libraries, let alone write
anymore.

What's wrong with those libraries?
