  Hi user,
  I wrote this macro for you:
  document.selection.EndOfDocument(false);
  endOfDocu = document.selection.GetActivePointY(eePosView);
  document.selection.StartOfDocument(false);
  document.selection.EndOfLine(false,eeLineView);
  currentCursor = document.selection.GetActivePointY(eePosView);
  while (endOfDocu != currentCursor) {
  currentCursor = document.selection.GetActivePointY(eePosView);
  numberOfChar = document.selection.GetActivePointX(eePosLogical) - 1;
  document.selection.StartOfLine(false,eeLineView | eeLineHomeText);
  document.selection.Text=numberOfChar + “: “;
  document.selection.LineDown(false,1);
  document.selection.EndOfLine(false,eeLineView);
  This macro will add numbers which indicate the number of characters of the line to the start of lines.

After that,you can use the “sort” of emeditor.
Than replace “^d+?:s” with NULL to restore orginial line.
Hope it helps. :-)
Cheers,
angus.
