"Sort Lines in Selection" for Xcode 4
You can do this with Automator:
- Start Automator and select either:
"Service" for macOS 10.7 or
"New Document" followed by "Quick Action" for macOS 11 - Find and drag "Run Shell Script" into the workflow panel
- Select "Output replaces selected text"
- Type
sort -f
into the "Run Shell Script" textfield - Save
Now you can sort lines in any textfield. Select some text and right-click or Control click and select the service you just created.
After 4 years Xcode still doesn't have this feature builtin, but now it supports extensions. So here you go: "xcsort" is an extension to sort text in Xcode 8. It adds a command to sort lines in selection.
