Hi Christian
 
I have the .csv plugin.
 
When I use the pattern in the vim :sort command, it does not work as 
expected.
 
I was mistaken in an earlier message. I am sure this is due to the 
plugin. If I copy the file I am working on to a, so that the plugin no 
longer recognizes it as a .tsv, the sort works as I had expected 
originally. I then have to copy my result back to the .tsv file.
 
 
The question was, is there a neater way of using the vim sort.
 
regards - Chris
