You can do it in AppleScript, operating on selected text in BBEdit if you want.
This isn’t the one-liner that the Unix people are giving you but it still works:
tell application "BBEdit"
set myDoc to document 1
set mySelection to the selection
set theList to contents of lines of mySelection
set newOrder to ""
repeat with aParagraph in theList
set newOrder to aParagraph & return & newOrder
end repeat
set selection to newOrder
end tell
