I tried acode, quickedit, markor, squircle CE, and numerous others.
Isn’t this like a basic thing, to sort?

You mean sorting your documents by name/size/modified date?
No, sorting text in the document. Sort all lines in document.
From this:
Paper Altitude A better bookTo this:
A better book Altitude PaperMaybe you want a spreadsheet app instead.
or termux and then doing a
sort input_file.txtI am aware of that route. But I’m looking for a text editor that will do it. You know, select some rows, click tools->sort. Seems easy enough.
No, looking for a text editor. Seems simple enough and it’s very useful.
What you’re wanting to do is sort a list, I know that word allows you to sort as bulleted list.
Edit: I assumed their mobile app had similar features to the desktop version, but after installing it’s severely lacking in features.
I use jove (a small, lightweight emacs) within Termux, and M-X filter-region through sort
I see. I switched from emacs to vim years ago and now I’ve forgotten most of the key chords in emacs. Nevertheless, seems like an awful way to edit files on a small android device. I tried vim for android and it was quite challenging. Not something I want to repeat.
With “Unexpected Keyboard” (from f-droid) it’s ok. I’ve come to expect that there’s a basic choice between easy, with GUI, and powerful (like “sort a region of lines”), which is only GUI if you’ve got a powerful GUI, like plan 9. Otherwise, powerful means keyboard-driven.
When I’ve got a long, complex edit, I’ve got a nice, pocket-size, battery-powered folding bluetooth keyboard; combined with the kickstands on my phone cases, it is pretty good.
VS Code can sort lines (all or selected), I use it often too.
Ah sorry, I just saw it’s for android - I’d choose the termux approach with
sort file.txt.deleted by creator
You can do this in vim, which you can run on Android.
