Lines Sorter is a plugin for Intellij IDEA which sorts lines in text files (available from IDEA built-in Plugin Manager).

Just select lines and call either Edit->Sort Lines menu, or Alt+ Shift+L shortcut. When no lines are selected, whole file is sorted.

##Notes

• sort is only case-insensitive and ascending. Sort feature could use some more advanced options, but I don't need them now.
• when file ends with empty lines (only one line separator on the line), these empty lines are preserved at the end (they are not included in sort)
• see Property Sorter plugin to sort property files smarter
