Hi @tjx666,

I understand your concern, but sorry this is not possible in this extension. This extension is used to sort an object or list. The selected string must be a valid JavaScript object. Just a part of a string cant be sorted.

The alternative way is to use the vscode native sort lines ascending and sort lines descending.

Thanks, Siva
