- ** $VER: SortBlock.ced 1.0.0 (2.6.93)
- **
- ** This script is designed to execute from a window within CED to
- ** sort the highlighted area (in a block) alphabetically. It works similar
- ** to the built-in functions Rot Marked and Change Case Marked. You specify
- ** an area, then call this function.
- **
- ** Note:
- ** 1. The 'Sort' command must be present in your command path in order for
- ** this program to run.
- ** 2. This program works with temporary files in T:, so you might want to
- ** modify it to store instead on a more appropriate device.
- **
- ** This script requires CygnusEd Professional v3.5 (or later) to run.
