You can do something like: 1. replace <return><tab> with ‘x’ (where ‘x’ doesn’t appear in your document) 2. sort the lines 3. replace ‘x’ with <return><tab>
Which you can make into a Text Factory if you’ll be doing it often. Hold down option when pressing enter or tab in the find dialog to enter that as a search character.
