Hello,  
I am running Joplin 1.2.6 on linux.

I was about to make a feature request for sorting lines within a note/todo (both of an entire note and from a selection) in the joplin editor but [it seems to already be implemented](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/sort-lines/8874).  
The shortcut in the linked post is not listed in the shortcuts of my joplin version and unsurprisingly doesn't work.

I would be very grateful if someone could point me towards that feature and spare me the hassle of switching to an external editor every time I want sorted lines!

CTRL+ALT+S working for me with v1.2.6 on Windows and Linux (Mint) but you do have to select the chunk of text to sort beforehand.

Thanks for the confirmation it exists! I got it to work now and figured out the issue: I was using vim keyboard mode, which does not support the shortcut, but has the :sort command instead.
