AFAIK this feature does not exist in Quanta. It is very easy to do this by 
creating a script action. Please procede like this:

1. chosse Settings | Configure Actions
2. hit New Action button
3. change Type: to script
4. type a name into Text:
5. optional type a tooltip
6. write sort under Detailed Settings as the script you want to call
7. choose Selected Text under Input:
8. choose Replace Selection under Output:
9. hit OK

Now you have a new icon in the toolbar which will call the sort command line 
tool with the current selection and replaces the current selection with the 
output of the call. 

Of course you can tweak this further by choosing a different icon, making the 
icon apear in another toolbar, assigning a keyboard shortcut to this action 
and whatever else.
