There is an old plug-in for NetBeans called Line Tools that activated string sorting in an alphanumeric way. I can’t get him to work, though, and I don’t expect him to give how old he is.
http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/3857/line-tools
The author on this page claims that the functions are now present in the current NetBeans, but I think that he refers to the actions "Move / Copy Selection / Line Up Down", and not to sort the lines.
Is there a built-in method or any plugins for sorting strings (optional) in NetBeans? I looked at the NetBeans key cards and could not find anything from ... sorting.
