This PowerShell command reads content from the clipboard, sorts it, and places the sorted content back onto the clipboard. Here's a breakdown:
Get-Clipboard
: Retrieves the current content from the clipboard.sort
: Sorts the retrieved content in ascending (default) order. If the clipboard content is textual data that can be sorted (e.g., lines of text), it organizes it alphabetically or numerically.Set-Clipboard
: Saves the sorted output back to the clipboard.
Overall Function:
The command grabs the clipboard's content, sorts it in ascending order, and updates the clipboard with the sorted version. The clipboard must contain sortable data (like text lines) for this to work effectively.
