A Visual Studio Code extension providing various sorting and text transformation utilities to streamline your workflow.
Features
Iara Sort offers a set of commands to help you organize and transform text within your editor:
Sort Selected Lines (ASCII):
Standard: Sorts lines alphabetically based on Unicode code points.
Case Insensitive: Sorts lines disregarding character case. This sort is stable, meaning it preserves the original relative order of lines that differ only in case (e.g., "apple" and "Apple").
Multiple Selections: All sorting commands support multiple independent selections. Each block is sorted individually.
Automatic Line Expansion: If a selection touches only part of a line, the command automatically includes the entire line in the sort.
Sort vcpkg.json: Specifically designed for vcpkg.json manifest files. This command sorts the dependencies and overrides arrays alphabetically by the package name. It also sorts the features within each dependency object. Requires the Prettier extension for automatic formatting after sorting.
Replace Backslashes with Forward Slashes: Converts all backslashes (\) to forward slashes (/) within your selected text. Useful for standardizing paths or dealing with different operating system path conventions. Supports multiple selections.
Installation

Usage
Once installed, you can access the commands through the VS Code Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) or via context menus (right-click in the editor).
Sort Selected Lines (ASCII): Select the lines you wish to sort, open the Command Palette, and search for "Iara: Sort lines (ASCII order)" or "Iara: Sort lines (ASCII order, case insensitive)".
Sort vcpkg.json: Open a vcpkg.json file, open the Command Palette, and search for "Iara: Sort vcpkg.json". Ensure you have the Prettier extension active for best results.
Replace Backslashes with Forward Slashes: Select the text containing backslashes, open the Command Palette, and search for "Iara: Replace backslashes with forward slashes".
