The ability to create tab columns in custom @windows is very useful, but the window sort (-s) feature will only sort lines based on the left most line text, ie, the first column data.

It'd be really awesome to be able to sort window data by column, and to change which column is sorted even after window creation, the same way that tab width can be changed after window creation.

I recommend merging these two features together in their command implementation.

/window -s -t5,10,15*,20

Sort the 3rd column data.

/window -s -t5*2d,10,15*1,20

Sort the 3rd column data, primarily ascending, then the 1st column secondary, descending sort.


Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
