Hi all,

First I want to say "thank you" to everybody who replied on my first request,
BUT (damn foreign language) I made one big mistake:

> Editor working with DOS:
> at least 8 files
> block operations

   so far it was correct
   
> sorting:
   
   What my friend really was looking for was an editor that can sort
   by COLUMNS, not by ROWS, mea culpa.
   This means, you define a column via block operation and the editor sorts
   the rows according to the content of the column selected. This seems to me
   to be a much more sophisticated feature than sorting by rows.

   So, ANY help is very much appreciated.

   Thank you in advance

Ciao 
   Uwe

XyWrite can do this, though you'll need to change the default sorting
condition before each sort.  That is, if you want to sort on column 12,
you'll have to tell XyWrite to sort on column 12.  If you then want to
sort on some other column, you'll have to change the default.  Not a
big deal, and if you do it often enough, you can make a macro out of
it.

Epsilon can do this, and you can control whether upper/lower case
letters match.

Uwe,  I understood you the first time.  The Semware Editor can sort based 
on a column block, AND can do case sensitive or case sensitive, 
asscending or descending sorts on all or part of the rows in a file.
