This suggests another function that takes an optional (M-u) arg to sort insensitively...
sort by “rhyme” -- really, by word-endings
(setq words "haters gonna hate....")
(apply 'string (reverse (string-to-list words)))
delete quotes
select region
M-x sort-lines
add quotes
setq words
(apply 'string (reverse (string-to-list words)))
(apply 'string (reverse (string-to-list words)))
delete quotes
select region
M-x sort-lines
add quotes
setq words
(apply 'string (reverse (string-to-list words)))
