                Um. Yes, if you have the 32-bit Notepad++, then you could still install the TextFX plugin to do sorting which Notepad++ can do natively. But why? TextFX is ancient, and not maintained, and not 64-bit compatible. And Notepad++ performs that task as a builtin function, as @Alan-Kilborn showed, whether in 32-bit or 64-bit application, so it seems pointless to go back to 32bit Notepad++ just to get a plugin to replicate a function that Notepad++ provides natively. But hey, you do you.

                    Correct. You do not require TextFX Plugin to do alphabetic sorting of lines, because the sorting feature has been built into Notepad++ for years now. If follow the image that @Alan-Kilborn posted, you can see that you can go to the
                    Edit menu, Line Operations submenu, Sort Lines … entries, and those will sort lines the lines in the active file. You do not need a plugin to do that; it has been in all versions of Notepad++ for years now.

                    The official Usermanual has a page with a description of each entry in the Edit menu, which describes the differences in all the sorting commands: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/editing/#edit-menu
