I tried acode, quickedit, markor, squircle CE, and numerous others.

Isn't this like a basic thing, to sort?

You mean sorting your documents by name/size/modified date?

No, sorting text in the document. Sort all lines in document.

From this:

 A better book

Maybe you want a spreadsheet app instead.

or termux and then doing a sort input_file.txt

I am aware of that route. But I'm looking for a text editor that will do it. You know, select some rows, click tools->sort. Seems easy enough.

No, looking for a text editor. Seems simple enough and it's very useful.

What you're wanting to do is sort a list, I know that word allows you to sort as bulleted list.

Edit: I assumed their mobile app had similar features to the desktop version, but after installing it's severely lacking in features.
