Sort Lines with Comment IntelliJ Plugin

Introduction

Sort blocks of lines with a comment.

On the line before the lines to be sorted use one of the following sort patterns:

• Simple sort: [asc|desc]
• Group sort: { order: [asc|desc], group: /regex/ }
• Split sort: { order: [asc|desc], split: /regex/, key: #}

The plugin will check the order of the following lines until there is a blank line, an indent level change, or another sort comment. To force a different end to the sort include sort: end on the line where the sort should end.

Features

• Highlights unsorted lines with a warning and provides a quick fix to sort them
• Syntax highlighting and sort order completion for the sort comment
• Action in the tools menu to sort all the lines in the open file
• Option to sort lines on save for all files
• Custom settings for ascending and descending sort orders
• Gutter icons showing sort comment location and sort order
