Ah, I recognize this from somewhere else, namely (defun sort-whole-lines (start end) (interactive "r") (save-excursion (let ((s (progn (goto-char start) (line-beginning-position))) (e (progn (goto-char end) (line-end-position))) ) (sort-lines nil s e) ))) ; [1] With comments for some reason, I never felt the need to do it. But it should make sense, because when do you ever want to [un]comment say lines, a, b, and c, and then HALF of line d?
