feature request: custom sort

[kobi2187]

I have a text file with many lines looking like that
A = 3
B = 2
CGDSF = 4576

Can we have a value sort, somehow specifying the word or character to split the line by?
for example: select the = character, then run value-sort-lines

The result should be:
B = 2
A = 3
CGDSF = 4576

Maybe the fix to this is to allow a custom sort to be defined by the user in a settings key as a JS string. Then that expression, say "a > b" can be eval'd by the extension? With good documentation, this would let users do things like what you ask:

"a.split('=')[1] > b.split('=')[1]"

Note there's no null checking or anything in the above. Thoughts?

I solved it with regex.
replace: \s*([-\d\w]+) = ([\w\d-]+),?\n?
with: $2 = $1,\n

then, I select all (ctrl+a)
run natural sort
and replace again.
