Hi Christian

 

I have the .csv plugin.

 

When I use the pattern in the vim :sort command, it does not work as expected.

 

I was mistaken in an earlier message. I am sure this is due to the plugin. If I copy the file I am working on to a, so that the plugin no longer recognizes it as a .tsv, the sort works as I had expected originally. I then have to copy my result back to the .tsv file.

 

 

The question was, is there a neater way of using the vim sort.

 

regards - Chris
