Thanks to Dave B for the powerful plugin.

Script to sort the current file

Requires sqlite3. If you have trouble with "import sqlite3" See:

  (Pertains to different packages but the issue is the same)
  May also be necessary to copy sqlite3.dll to:
    …\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\ 

'''
  Sort the current file.
  Options are:
    Case sensitive y/n?     - Case sensitive sorting or ignore case
    Remove duplicates y/n?  - Remove duplicate lines from file
    Overwrite file y/n?     - Overwrite existing file or open a new one
    Right justify sort y/n? - Right justify data in the column for sort. Good for numeric data
    Column width            - Width of column to sort. Column starts at current caret position
