Does anyone use the Notepad++ editor for Windows and also use the third party software plugin "Linesort"
with it.

The plugin consists of a single .dll file.

The Installation Instructions are: download the "Linesort.dll" and put in the Notepad++ plugins
directory

I did that. It is not zipped encrypted in any way. I expected that when i closed and restarted NOTEPAD
++ that it would show up under "Plugins". It did not.

I am using Notepad ++ v7.8.5 (32bit) on a windows 64 bit machine.

Does anyone know where it should be?

Thanks.

My Rig: Win7SP1 (64bit)

Ref: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList

According to the link above, linesort.dll plugin is only listed in the
Win7 32 bit list and not in 64 bit list. I can confirm installing it on
my 64 bit Notepad++ plugin folder neither lists it present via Plugin
Manager nor does it show up in the menus.

However, Using WinXP (32bit) and installing it in Notepad++ Plugin
folder, it both shows up in Notepad++ Plugin Manager and as a menu item
in the Notepad++ Plugin menu.

I hope this helps.

Yes, thank you, muchly. that helps a lot.

I read that it was good for win 7, 64, but your experience confirms mine -- that such is not the case.

of course we have native sort capability(past v6.58 I believe). And TextFX tools (I do, and you
probably also have them) but this linesort looked to have a couple of nice features, like the "right
sort".

The XP 32bit system I used was a Virtual Machine I created using Virtual
Box (VBox) on my Win7 64bit system. That might be a a viable alternative
if you find that sort capability valuable after testing it? More at:

Plugins have to be in their own folder within the Plugins folder.
The default Plugins folder location is in the program installation folder unless you told
it on installation to be under you AppDataRoaming folder
So, for instance, C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\linesort
or C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\linesort

v8.1.2 on a 32-bit machine here so I think you're a bit out of date!
I rarely use it under W7 nowadays and my version on W10 is 64-bit so I can't
really help much. Have you looked in the manual at https://npp-user-manual.org/ ?

Whatta Champ!
I put it in the plugins folder in its own folder named "linesort" and now it shows up as "sort lines"
under plugins on the Notepad++ toolbar. "Sort Lines" has its own flyout menu with two items, "start"
and "about". About says that it is Linesort v1.1.
plus, i clicked "start" and got the menu as displayed at the web site.

Thanks!
