I think your first step should be to run the 30-minute tutorial
program, gvimtutor. If it's not covered in the tutorial, you should
also execute the Vim command ":help" to get an overview of what's
available from the built-in help system.
You will find information on columnar mode selection under
:help 04.4
:help blockwise-visual
Lines can be sorted using the internal :sort command or by filtering
a range of lines through an external command such as the Unix sort
command. See
:help :sort
:help 10.9
:help filter
"Word wrap" means different things to different people, so you'll
have to explain what you mean more fully. Vim has many options that
control how lines are "wrapped".
