Another Simple Service: List Sorting

I have finished exams now. That means I can spend time going through my list of ‘things that look interesting to check out when I have time’.

But first, I just made a Mac OS X Service to sort a list alphabetically. It’s so easy:

• Make a new Service in Automator that receives and replaces text from any application.
• Add the action Run Shell Script and run this ‘script’:sort -f
• Save the Service
• Use when necessary

You’ve just added a feature to every compliant text editor on your Mac. I love Services.

Update: I love Unix too.
