rearrange paragraph
Hi there,
I have a book like that:
<p id="2">paragraph 1</p>
<p id="5">paragraph 2</p>
<p id="1">paragraph 3</p>
...
I want to edit it back to an id increase order like this:
<p id="1">paragraph 3</p>
<p id="2">paragraph 1</p>
...
<p id="5">paragraph 2</p>
Does anybody know how to do it?
Thanks in advance

By hand, using the Editor (or alternate).

This is so far into the far edge of requests that I have seen hear over the years.

I would almost believe, you are trying to fix a PDF conversion that ended up, typically bad.

Paste it into a site like Text Mechanic:

https://textmechanic.com/text-tools/...rt-text-lines/

and do a Natural Sort on it.

You can also use any other program that sorts too... like spreadsheet programs (Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets, etc.)

If you have basic Python skills, you could use the Beautiful Soup Python library to manipulate the file.

I would just use the Incremental IDs plugin.

If it doesn't overwrite the current ID, you can have it make an incremental 'title='...then basic regex search/replace to swap 'title' to 'id'.

The problem is that they want to actually reorder the paragraphs in the document, according to the id number. This isn't about rewriting/reorganizing ids, I'm pretty sure it's about rearranging actual content based on the ids.

Yes, it’s exactly what I wanted to do. And Tex2002ans’ suggestion site solved my problem.
Thank you all so much

I'm scratching my head over what you're actually using this for though.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Do you have a large collection of quotations + page numbers?

If you let us know the surrounding context, there may be even better solutions out there.
