I guess in many cases it will be fast to sort by hand in a situation
like this.  Maybe not using rectangle commands, but using the commands
for dragging along a column, M-right and M-left.

If you have many columns, you can use a transposition as indicated
very cleverly by Juan.  Or you can write the command and send us a  
patch :D
Maybe just a bubble sort, using the column-shifting commands might be  
good enough.

How many columns do you have?

Cheers.
