Sort case insensitive in recent versions of Notepad++

Question

How can you do a case-insensitive sort in recent versions of Notepad++ (i.e. >= 6.5)?.

I'm aware of the old way of using TextFX, however Notepad++ now has the built-in "Line Operations", but these seem to be case sensitive.

You can still use the TextFX Characters plugin in recent versions of Notepad++ (tested under version 6.5.5):

• Click Plugins/Plugin Manager/Show Plugin Manager
• Under Available find TextFX Characters
• Click Install
• Select rows to be sorted.
• Click TextFX/TextFX Tools
• Check or uncheck Sort ascending
• Sort lines case insensitive
