Quoting Vim Visual <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I have a text file like
Mr Bla Blo
Ms Ble Blu
Dr Bli Blu
etc
and I would like to sort the file alphabetically after the surname
(3rd column). How can I do that? I know how to sort it after the first
one (visual + !sort)
May I suggest looking at "How to sort using visual blocks" at:
http://vim.sourceforge.net/tips/tip.php?tip_id=588
In addition, are your firstnames always just three letters long? If
they vary in length, then are they
already padded so that you actually have columns? If they're not, then
you might want to use the
\tsp map in AlignMaps.vim to get them lined up. See
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=294 .
