or alternatively, you could even use a substitute command:
:.-,.+s/\v^(.*)\n(.*)\n(.*)/\3\r\2\r\1/|-
Thank you. The first one works for me; the second one works too, but
for some reason also highlights all text in red.
It's true, this is something normally one would need to do, but when I
saw the OP I thought of a few scenarios that might be fun/useful in
classes that I teach. (Nothing to do with coding; it's just that being
able to swap sentences around like that at the touch of a button can
let me play with lists of sentences to generate variations in sentence
sequences for ESOL students.) The built-in commands mentioned are also
very handy, so whichever way Peng Yu intended the question, the
responses are much appreciated.
