Hi,
I have file which contains hexadecimal numbers like below:

052 --- 040 --- 04A --- 1BC --- 2DD --- 146 --- 040 --- 1D3
How can I sort the columns so that they are as the first column?
May I suggest looking at:
http://vim.sourceforge.net/tips/tip.php?tip_id=588 : "How to sort using
visual blocks"
which discusses
* how to sort visual-block selected columns (independently of
surrounding text), and
* how to sort lines based on the contents of a visual-block selected
columns.
