Is there a windows/unicode based sorting program for other scripts?

Factual Questions
1

I am looking for a program that can sort words in my text file, but…

It needs to handle non-Latin scripts.
It needs to sort words alphabetically (Unicode based?).
It needs to be powerful enough to sort a text file filled with 100,000 words.
It needs to be windows based (I know nothing of linux).

The program I am looking for is something like this but more powerful (this only can do ~700 of my words); and it needs to function like this one but be based on windows (I run the vista platform).

I need all the help I can get, so if there is anyone out there who knows something about programs or computers and can help me, then thanks.

Most decent plain text editors will have a File->Sort menu. I just checked my Ultra Edit Professional and it can sort UTF-8 files just fine.

I don’t have a big non-Latin Unicode file to test with, but you can probably do this from the command line:


type oldfile.txt|sort > newfile.txt

On further reflection, SORT will handle Unicode input so this should work:


sort oldfile.txt > newfile.txt
