Posted by agiletortoise, Last update over 4 years ago

Sort lines in alpha order, with options for case-sensitivity and destination for sorted text.

Steps

script

// sort methods

function alphaSort(vals, caseSensitive, ascending) {
	let result = vals.sort(function(a, b) {
		if (!caseSensitive) {
			a = a.toLowerCase();
			b = b.toLowerCase();
		}
		return a.localeCompare(b);
	});
	if (!ascending) {
		result = result.reverse();
	}
	return result;
}

script

// prompt for sort options and run
let f = () => {
	let p = Prompt.create();
	
	p.title = "Sort Lines";
	p.message = "Sort lines in the text selection";
	
	p.addSwitch("cs", "Case sensitive", true);
	p.addSwitch("asc", "Sort ascending", true);
	
	p.addSelect("output", "Output", ["Replace selection", "Clipboard", "New draft"], ["Replace selection"], false);
	
	p.addButton("Sort Lines");
	
	if (!p.show()) {
		return false;
	}
	
	const cs = p.fieldValues["cs"];
	const asc = p.fieldValues["asc"];

	const [st, len] = editor.getSelectedLineRange();
	const ln = editor.getTextInRange(st, len);

	const lines = ln.split('\n');
	const sortedLines = alphaSort(lines, cs, asc);
	const result = sortedLines.join("\n");
	
	const output = p.fieldValues["output"][0];
	
	switch(output) {
		case "Replace selection":
			editor.setTextInRange(st, len, result);
			break;
		case "Clipboard":
			app.setClipboard(result);
			break;
		case "New draft":
			let d = Draft.create();
			d.content = result;
			d.update();
			editor.load(d);
			break;
	}

	return true;
}

if (!f()) {
	context.cancel();
