The E3 editor, that comes free with IBM's DOS 6.1, sounds like it will do

Block, line, and character marks fully supported.

Not sure what you're asking here.  You can line-mark a group of lines
and enter the SORT command, and those lines will be sorted in order.
Or, you can block-mark a rectangular region, and do a SORT, and the
lines containing the mark will be sorted, using the marked columns as
the sort key.
