Alphabetizing a list of items not possible in text editor?
 

I've got a list of many items (1000+ items) and I need them to be alphabetized in my text editor. e.g.

Turning a list such as

dog
cat
pen
coat

to:

cat
coat
dog
pen <<< --- alphabetized result


All of the text editors I've tried including:
* kate
* kwrite
* kedit
* gedit

Do NOT support this feature!

Is there any way I could find a text editor that does, or a bash script or shell command that could do this?

Thanks!

man sort. :)

cat FILE | sort > FILE2

The sort manpage will give you all the options you could want. :)
