[Javascript] Text Editor Needed

[Peter Brunone]

	Assuming you or someone you know has Windows, you can always
paste the columns into Excel (or even Word) and sort them in a flash and
then paste them back to your file.  I would figure other spreadsheet
apps have this capability as well; I know this requires that you run two
progs for editing, but how often do you need to sort columns in your
editor?  (I'm actually curious about that)

Hahaha isn't English a wonderful language. It is soooo easy to assume
that others will understand a simple statement, but as we have seen from
major wars, or our wives, this isn't always the case!

By 'sort lines', I meant that if I had a text file as follows:

Banana 125645
Grape 86334
Apple 88654
Orange 943434

it would sort it alpabetically to:

Apple 88654
Banana 125645
Grape 86334
Orange 943434

I had a look at Emacs, but from the manual it seems command-line driven.
UltraEdit seems good, but is only free for 45 days. Jedit also looks
good, but I have an (unreasonable ?) hatred of Java applications so try
to keep them off my computer. As Bekim suggests, I could of course
quickly write a page that sorts between 2 javascript text boxes, but I
was rather hoping for something a bit more integrated. My normal text
editor is EditPadLite, and it is free and brilliant, though only the
paid for 'Pro' version does sorting - I may pay to get this. I am
currently trying a copy of http://www.textpad.com/index.html though this
is not free either.
