Build Identifier: M20100211-1343 The base text editor should have the capability to sort selected lines (alphabetically, numerically, case sensitive/insensitive, reversed, starting at specified column). There is a third-party plug-in that does some of this but its such a fundamental programming feature that it should be included in Eclipse's base text editor rather than reinvented in each language specific editor. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A

(In reply to comment #1) >>There is a third-party plug-in that does some of this but > Which one? Maybe they offer to contribute this back. See http://www.stateofflow.com/projects/2/sortit. It works for me in Eclipse 3.5.2 although I'm having some problems getting its right-click context menu to consistently appear in my GNATbench Ada editor (Ada perspective).
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
