Sort by Length

Is there a way to sort by the length in textpad? If I have a list of 5000 items how can I sort them by length? It's easy by alpha, etc... But not length.

Any ideas?

How about if you right justify to a wide margin, and front load with spaces?

Then do an alpha sort should bring the shortest ones first, the longest ones last.

(Assumes nothing on the lines but the info to be sorted).

Bob,
Actually it was easier than that, right justify and then sort. Worked perfectly. Thank you.
