If you collect the folds as lists, then you can sort them and spit
them out. Sorting in place is doable, but a little more complicated,
however a 3 pronged approach is easier. Here is one way to do it.
First write a function that can collect all lines in folds separately.
function! CollectFoldList(foldList)
0
while line('.') < line('$')
if foldclosed(line('.')) != -1
call add(a:foldList, getline(foldclosed(line('.')),
foldclosedend(line('.'))))
exec (foldclosedend(line('.'))+1)
else
+
endif
endwhile
endfunction
Then write another function that can take this list and dump into a buffer.
function! PutFoldListIntoNewBuf(foldList)
for fold in a:foldList
call append('$', fold)
" Optionally add a line between them.
call append('$', "")
endfor
endfunction
You can then glue these function together like this:
function! CollectFoldsSortAndPutIntoNewBuf()
let foldList = []
call CollectFoldList(foldList)
call sort(foldList)
new
call PutFoldListIntoNewBuf(foldList)
endfunction
We are simply relying on Vim's ability to sort the folds by using
their string representation, which I think what you want. Otherwise,
you can pass in a comparator function and change the behavior.
