Re: [libreoffice-users] Sorting in Writer

[anne-ology]

   Well, I've done this for any number of lists; sorted in various ways
...
  once it's done, it's much easier to locate what you have & much
easier to maintain the list.

   The manual method is somewhat quicker if you use (1) the 'find' to
sort;
  (2) maybe doing a section at a time.

   There are numerous programs that supposedly will do this for you;
   how they operate or how they would know where to place what, I
haven't the foggiest ...
  some can be located through Gizmo's

   Hoping this helps,

I received a document which, essentially is a document of song lyrics.
However, they were typed in at random, as they were received. I now want to
sort the songs by song title and can't figure a way to do this. The format
is the following:
 The song title, the artist, the lyrics. Each line is essentially a new
paragraph so I cannot sort by paragraph. I need some way of marking the
beginning and the ending of each song, having the contents between these
two marks recognised as a unit, and then sorting these units. Does anyone
have any ideas, without having to select each song, cutting it and then
pasting it in its correct position alphabetically

Well sure. But remember, even if some of the "legacy" deprecated document
formats are eventually removed The Document Foundation sponsors an archive
of prior LibreOffice project release builds.

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

So you are covered either way :-)

​A bit of personal opinion here: this can be done completely outside of
LibreOffice, in a program-agnostic way that might be more useful since it
could be applied to other stuff.
A script/program set to monitor a directory/file, and create a new backup
with timestamp every time the file change would suit that purpose. Simply
activate the auto-save feature of your favorite tool and it can take
advantage of it.
Of course, it could also be done *in* LibreOffice/any tool, and provide
better integration (no need to close/reopen file for example). But I'm
cautious when too many unrelated features find their way in a program...

I might write some lightweight python script to do just that, for fun :)
and to make everyone happy, I'll add a settings where you can limit the
amount of backup to keep ;)
