Copy text and paste in alphabetical order

[Simon Thoumire]

Hi there, Can anyone help? I'm looking to select text and then sort it in alphabetical order. Eg If this text below was on a webpage - is it possible to paste it alphabetically.

Eg

Simon
Alasdair
Vero
June

And paste it as

Alasdair
June
Simon
Vero.

 

Many thanks, Simon
