Just like Notepad++, select a block of lines and sort them.
Use case: maintaining a long list of code constants declarations.

For the rare occasion why not just open the .b4a or .bas file in Notepad++ and sort them there?

That’s what I currently do, but is prone to copy/paste errors.
since we already have block operations in the IDE (e.g. comments) a sort can be a nice addition

No need to copy and paste, b4a is a text file. Open .b4a file using Notepad ++. You can right click on file and select "Edit with Notepad ++"

Agree. I regularly use UltraEdit to edit my .b4a and .bas files both from B4X IDE and UltraEdit, and both update the changes done from another.
I use UltraEdit for macros and scripts I have in it for text file manipulation.
