AFAIK, no. But it's rather simple a command to write: (defun sort-words-in-lines (start end) (interactive "r") (goto-char start) (beginning-of-line) (while (< (setq start (point)) end) (let ((words (sort (split-string (buffer-substring start (line-end-position))) (function string-lessp)))) (delete-region start (line-end-position)) (dolist (word words ) (insert word " "))) (beginning-of-line) (forward-line 1))) -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ NOTE: The most fundamental particles in this product are held together by a "gluing" force about which little is currently known and whose adhesive power can therefore not be permanently guaranteed.
