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): Sorts the lines within your current selection
alphabetically based on their code points. Useful for sorting lists, logs, or
any block of text line by line.
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 line text. Useful for
standardizing paths or dealing with different operating system path
conventions. Supports multiple selections.
Installation
Open Visual Studio Code.
Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X).
Search for "Iara Sort".
Click Install.
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 in a text
editor, open the Command Palette, and search for "Iara Sort: Sort Selected
Lines (ASCII)". You can also right-click on the selection and find the command
in the context menu.
Sort vcpkg.json: Open a vcpkg.json file, open the Command Palette, and
search for "Iara Sort: Sort vcpkg.json". This command is also available in the
editor context menu when editing a .json file (specifically intended for
vcpkg.json). Ensure you have the Prettier
extension
installed and active for the best results.
Replace Backslashes with Forward Slashes: Select the text containing
backslashes you want to convert, open the Command Palette, and search for
"Iara Sort: Replace Backslashes with Forward Slashes". This command is also
available in the editor context menu when text is selected.
