If you want to sort from the 97th _line_ through the last line
of the document, then you need only make a selection and apply
the Sort Lines command as Rich described.
If instead you want to key the sort to begin at the 97th
_character_ of each line, you can do so by turning ON the "Sort
using pattern" option, entering a "Searching pattern" of
^.{96}(.+?)$
then choosing "Specific sub-patterns" and entering \1.
The searching pattern[1] will cause BBEdit to skip the first 96
characters of each line and perform a sort based on the
remaining text, which are captured by the first (and only :)
sub-pattern defined in the searching pattern.

Well, that posting, was suddenly sent, while I was writing it.
I wanted to show that I want to sort those lines from position
97 onwards, otherwise sorting would be useless.
