Description: I would like an alphabetizing function added to Writer which would let you alphabetize a bunch of lines of text that had enter hit at the end of each line. It would basically be like alphabetizing one column of text except in Writer instead of in Calc. Actual Results: You can't alphabetize. Expected Results: I would like to be able to alphabetize a series of lines of text in Writer as if I was in Calc. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Why? Because we can be even better than Microsoft in the open software world. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0
I use a macro to do this. and I've assigned a custom toolbar button to it. Sub AlphabeticOrder oDoc = ThisComponent oTxtRange = oDoc.CurrentSelection(0) oTxtCursor = oDoc.Text.createTextCursorByRange(oTxtRange) mDesc = oTxtCursor.createSortDescriptor oTxtCursor.sort(mDesc) End Sub
as far as I know LibO misses a built-in text selection alphabetizing function. status NEW. regarding how to assign a macro to a toolbar button read a tutorial here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/24690/macro-to-toolbar/
