Hi Giovanni, - substitute "," with \n > - sort region > - substitute \n with "," >
1. I am new in org-mode and emacs. Can you please tell me what is "sort region" and what are the key bindings ? 2. Is there a way by which I can replace all the ',' with '\n' and do the reverse automatically ? Thanks. ----------------------------- *Sanjib Sikder *Ph.D. Fellow Chemical Engineering IIT Bombay* * On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 11:44 PM, Sanjib Sikder <sanjibju2...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Giovanni, > > You need to put the following lines into your .emacs to sort WORDS and > LINES. > > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > > ;;;Sort words > (defun sort-words (reverse beg end) > "Sort words in region alphabetically, in REVERSE if negative. > Prefixed with negative \\[universal-argument], sorts in reverse. > The variable `sort-fold-case' determines whether alphabetic case > affects the sort order. > See `sort-regexp-fields'." > (interactive "*P\nr") > (sort-regexp-fields reverse "\\w+" "\\&" beg end)) > > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > > Then to sort words like > > apple, mango, oranges, cat, elephant > > You need to do > > M-x sort-words > > To sort lines, similarly do > > M-x sort-lines > > > > ----------------------------- > *Sanjib Sikder > *Ph.D. Fellow > Chemical Engineering > IIT Bombay* > > * > > > > On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 5:10 PM, Giovanni Ridolfi < > giovanni.rido...@yahoo.it> wrote: > >> Da: Sanjib Sikder <sanjibju2...@gmail.com> >> >> Inviato: Lunedì 22 Ottobre 2012 13:27 >> >> >> > I know it is possible to sort words and sort lines alphabetically in >> emacs org-mode >> >> Would you please be so kind to explain to me how? >> >> I have only: >> org-sort-entries M-x ...
