Simple Line Sorter

Sort selected lines by length. Align PHP-style key => value arrays.

No settings. No dependencies. Selection-only.

Features

Longest → Shortest: sort selected lines by trim().length, descending.
Shortest → Longest: sort selected lines by trim().length, ascending.
Align Array =>: pad keys so => arrows line up. Indentation preserved. Lines without => pass through untouched.

Highlight lines in editor.
Right-click → Simple Line Sorter submenu (visible only with active selection).
Pick command. Or open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and search title.

Command ID (declared)	Title	Status
`simple-line-sorter.sortLongToShort`	Longest → Shortest	works
`simple-line-sorter.sortShortToLong`	Shortest → Longest	works
`simple-line-sorter.alignArray`	Align Array `=>`	broken, see Known Issues

Empty selection → info message, no-op. Align with zero => lines → No key => value pair found., no-op.

Sort longest → shortest (length measured after trim()):

# before
a
abcd
ab

# after
abcd
ab
a

Align =>:

// before
$name => 'A',
$longer_key => 'B',
id => 3,

// after
$name       => 'A',
$longer_key => 'B',
id           => 3,

Align Array menu entry broken. package.json declares line-sorter.alignArray, but src/extension.ts registers simple-line-sorter.alignArray. IDs must match. Submenu item does nothing until unified. Sort commands unaffected.
CRLF normalized to LF. Split on /\r?\n/, rejoin with '\n'.
Length = trim().length. Leading/trailing whitespace ignored for ordering, but kept in output.
In-place Array.sort. Stable in modern V8, but equal-length order should not be relied on.
