Sort case insensitive in recent versions of Notepad++

You can still use the TextFX Characters plugin in recent versions of Notepad++ (tested under version 6.5.5):

  • Click Plugins/Plugin Manager/Show Plugin Manager
  • Under Available find TextFX Characters
  • Click Install
  • Select rows to be sorted.
  • Click TextFX/TextFX Tools
  • Check or uncheck Sort ascending
  • Sort lines case insensitive

Since N++ is trying to sort a text file, you can just save the file and use the SORT command in a DOS window; then just re-open the sorted file with N++ .

For help with the SORT command in a DOS window, type either of the following:
SORT /?|MORE HELP SORT|MORE
