Emacs 29.4.50
Debian 12.7

Given the following text in the selection:

   path_assets:assets.getAssetDir(),
   path_images:get_image_path(),
   product: job_info.product ?? "\\textless Not Specified \\textgreater ",
   user: get_poa_user(),
            pop_rates: converted_pop_map,


The command `sort-lines` does not change the order

Modes:

Minor modes enabled in this buffer: Anzu Auto-Save Company
Display-Line-Numbers Eldoc Flycheck Font-Lock Hs Tide-Hl-Identifier

I cannot reproduce this, and least not if I paste the above text into
a new buffer under Fundamental mode.  Did you mark the text to make
the region include all of it, before invoking sort-lines?  When
invoked interactively, that command sorts lines inside the region, so
you must mark all of those lines first.  You say "text in the
selection", but I don't understand whether this means the region or
something else.

So please show a reproducible recipe starting from "emacs -Q" to
exhibit this problematic behavior.  If you need to enable some
non-default modes to produce the problem, please state those modes
explicitly in the recipe.

Thanks.

Ping!  Worik, could you please post the details I asked for, so we
could investigate this issue?
