How can I sort lines ascending with 2 conditions:

Did you try your example with the Notepad++ sorting functions. It does work, however there may be instances where it doesn’t achieve the desired result. That’s because the Notepad++ sort function just sorts the characters reading across each line. There is no ability to template the different fields in each line to consider a “tiered” approach to sorting.

Umm… the result you want is what you get when you sort lexicographically ascending.
