A cross-language Sublime Text plugin for sorting items in a list. Handles lists without opening and closing list delimiters, and lists with trailing commas. Preserves lists' quote style (single vs. double).
SortList
is available via Sublime Package Control. This is the recommended way to install the plugin.
Alternatively, you may install via GitHub by cloning this repository into the Packages
directory under Sublime Text's data directory. For example, on OSX:
cd "~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages"
git clone https://github.com/kylebebak/sublime_sort_list.git
Highlight one or more lists and run the command. If the lists can't be sorted exceptions with line numbers will be displayed in the quick panel.
The name of the command is sort_list
. It appears in the Command Palette
as Sort List
. If you want to use it with a minimum of hassle add a shortcut to your .sublime-keymap
.
{ "keys": ["shift+alt+super+o"], "command": "sort_list" }
If you want to change the list delimiter characters, override SortList.sublime-settings.
From the root directory, run python3 -m unittest discover --verbose
. Some of the tests will fail in Python 2, but the plugin still works fine in Sublime Text 2.
Fork it and create a pull request.
- reinsert leading and trailing whitespace, including new lines, after sorting the list
- allow for list delimiters with more than one character, e.g.
<%
and%>
.
