Does anyone else agree that these features belong in the Sort UI of a text editor that doesn't suck? ;-)
1. It is a common occurrence that when sorting, one needs to remove duplicates. The unix sort command has had a –u option to do this for at least 35 years. 2. It is a common occurrence that when sorting, one wants numbers (wherever they appear in the text) to sort in numeric order (a.k.a. "natural order"). The sort command in Linux has this feature, calling it "--version-sort". With this feature, and without any special sort field specifications, sorting produces x8a x9a x10a instead of x10a x8a x9a as it does now. BBEdit does not have these features, and BB refuses to implement them! They brush off these suggestions saying that if anyone needs these features when sorting, they should write a script. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
