It's as not easy as it might seem from the outside. The code assumes
that the size of the sorted area is exactly the same as the size of the
unsorted original.

The whole operation is linked closely to how undo works. In fact, if
undo is off then the text can't be sorted.

Also, would it be okay for StrongED to insert that newline? That is to
change the text on its own accord? It might only be a newline but still.

At the moment I'm looking for a way to resolve this but coming up with a
good solution might take a while.

Cheers,
Fred.
