One by one I have appended a number of lines to a register ("z). I need to sort them and then paste them at the start of the document. Without complaint, vim accepts the command :"zsort but the content of "z is unchanged. Is it possible to do this in the register, or must I paste it into the document and sort it there?
It may be possible to do it in the register, but it is easier to do it in the text:
0put z 1,.sort or maybe 0put z mark z 1,.sort 1,'z yank z if you want to yank the sorted lines back into the register.
