Manual Installation

  1. Place your plugin .py file in: Packages/User/timestamp_sort.py

To open this folder from Sublime Text:
Preferences > Browse Packages...

  1. Create or update a Command Palette entry in Packages/User/Default.sublime-commands:
[
  {
    "caption": "Sort: By Timestamp",
    "command": "timestamp_sort"
  }
]


3. (Optional) Add a main menu entry in Packages/User/Main.sublime-menu:

## Usage

  Open a file with log entries.

  Use the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for:
  Sort: By Timestamp

  Or use the Tools menu if you added a menu item.

## Notes
- processes the currently open file
- Assumes timestamps are at the beginning of log entry: 
**Log entries can have multiple lines but the 1st line of each entry (paragraph) has to start with a timestamp.**
- Lines before any detectable timestamp are moved to the end in their original order.
