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.
Best regards,
Tony.
