Vim has an inbuilt :sort
function that can be used to sort lines. However, I recently had to sort words in a line. I could have broken the line and put each word on one line, sort them and put the results back as a line. Thankfully, I found the AdvancedSorters plugin for Vim that does this job easily in one command.
Install it from this URL: https://github.com/vim-scripts/AdvancedSorters
To sort the words in a line, I just visually block the line and press :
(colon) and then type the command SortWORDs
Tried with: Vim 7.4 and Ubuntu 16.04
