You don't have to convert it to a table. You can replace the commas with
paragraph marks, sort, then replace the paragraph marks with commas.

Currently to sort a list of items you need to convert the text to be
sorted
to a table, sort the table, then convert the table back to text. It would
be
convenient if you could highlight the text and sort it by punctuation -
most
frequently commas but also semicolons then sort it.
