With a simple Applescript, you can perform the sort Patrick describes
starting from the current cursor position. The following script gets the
cursor position, creates the grep pattern for the sort using the cursor
position as the start point, then performs the sort.
*tell* *application* "BBEdit"
*set* theColumn *to* startColumn *of* selection
*set* thePattern *to* "^.{" & theColumn & "}(.+?)$"
*sort lines* *text* 1 *of* *text document* 1 sorting options {match pattern:
thePattern, sort subpattern key:*use_subpattern*, sort subpattern:"\\1"} output
options {replacing target:*true*}
*end* *tell*
