Task — Sentence order

You are given a paragraph. Write a script to order each sentence alphanumerically and print the whole paragraph.

Examples

Example 1:
Input:
    All he could think about was how it would all end. There was
    still a bit of uncertainty in the equation, but the basics
    were there for anyone to see. No matter how much he tried to
    see the positive, it wasn't anywhere to be seen. The end was
    coming and it wasn't going to be pretty.
Output:
    about All all could end he how it think was would. a anyone
    basics bit but equation, for in of see still the the There
    there to uncertainty was were. anywhere be he how it matter
    much No positive, see seen the to to tried wasn't. and be
    coming end going it pretty The to was wasn't.

Analysis

Why would you ever want to do this? Only Mohammad knows. The obvious logic, and the way I did it was:

• Split the text into sentences
• Split each sentence into an array of words
• Sort the array
• Print it out

In order to match Mohammad's sample output I limited the length of each output line to 60 chars, which adds a couple of lines to the script.

Try it 

Try running the script with any input:
