I'm afraid I don't know a build in function that is doing this, but I
got two ways in my mind: 
1.) Send selection to command function of Geany and build a small shell
script which is using sort -r -k (or if this is not working maybe awk)
(untested as you might can imagine) 
2.) Implementing such a functon by a plugin as done with the
shiftcolumn plugin.

Frank
