Sort options

[alexolog]

Is it possible to control whether the sort is case-sensitive or case-insensitive and whether it is ascending or descending?

[d-akara]

Currently it is not possible to choose case when sorting. However, for ascending or descending you can always just issue the 'reverse' command.

I have a somewhat related feature idea - though not sure if it something that is commonly used or needed.

I sometimes have strings that are "Big-Endian", i.e. the relevant character/grouping criterion is at the end of the line, instead of the front.

Here's an example:

FeatureA
FeatureA2
FeatureB

TestA
TestA2
TestB

What I would like to do is get

FeatureA
TestA

FeatureA2
TestA2

FeatureB
TestB

• the empty lines are only there to seperate the "groups" when ordering
• the exact order of the elements in each group doesn't matter (I can order them afterwards)
• the exact order of the groups doesn't matter

I could achieve this with "reverse each line", "sort" "reverse each line" - but I must admit I don't know enough about unicode to estimate if this is actually feasible.
