Did you try internal ":sort" in the QF window? If it doesn't work, try
moving the contents of the quickfix window to some [No Name] window by
":%y" in the one then ":put" in the other (without the quotes in both
cases). Then try running an appropriate :sort.
Vimgrep is not very useful to search a single file (use plain "slash"
search then). It comes to hand when you have several (maybe many) files
to search for a given string or regexp.
IIUC, internal ":sort" (unlike external :!sort which is a filter)
doesn't need anything to be written out to disk.
Best regards,
Tony.
