- I have searched the existing issues
Description of the Issue
Currently, the "Line Operations" menu does not have an option to sort lines by length, which makes it impossible to rearrange the lines from shortest to longest or vice versa.
Describe the solution you'd like.
It would be helpful to add an option for sorting by line length, so that the longest and shortest lines in the entire file can be easily identified.
