Are you wanting sort lines to always be case insensitive, so a registry key option could turn this on and off, or are you looking for two separate commands, one case sensitive and one case insensitive?

Two options would be ideal: "Sort Selected Lines" and "Sort Selected Lines (case insensitive)", but a registry key would also be fine since I always want case insensitive comparison.

The comparison should use the locale settings for example:
Kuh
Arzt
B+?r
+?rzte

is sorted:
Arzt
B+?r
Kuh
+?rzte

instead of
Arzt
+?rzte
B+?r
Kuh

I have put in a feature request for an option to set Sort Selected Lines to be case insensitive:

case=29858

For now you should be able to do this with an IDE macro. This macro shows how to grab several selected lines and do something with them:

http://support.wholetomato.com?W445

using this as a start point it should not be to difficult to grab the selected lines and sort them in memory. Then you just need to replace the selected text with the sorted text.

I can't find what the registry key added for case 29858 is, how do I find out? Thanks.

There is no need for a registry key, when you trigger sort selected lines you get a dialog with 2 sets of radio buttons, allowing you to specify if you want the sort to be Assending / Descending, and also case-sensitive / case-insensitive.

Are you not seeing this dialog when you trigger a sort? The documentation shows a screen shot:

https://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W175

You can suppress the dialog with the registry key "EnableSortLinesPrompt" as explained here:

https://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W708

but if you do, sorting will be exclusively ascending and case-sensitive.

Yeah, I'm seeing it. I was hoping this meant that there was a registry key that set the case-insensitive radio button on the dialogue by default so I don't have to keep manually selecting it. I guess I misunderstood.

I actually expected the sort selected lines dialog to remember your choices, but apparently it doesn't, so I have put in a feature request for it to remember your choice from last time you did a sort:

case=148842
