As I wrote, I'd very much prefer a solution that only affects
outline-mode and its descendants. In those modes, ignoring invisible
lines could be the default behavior. I think we should also provide a
defcustom to make sort-lines behave in outline modes as it does today,
because, although I agree that the current behavior makes less sense
in those modes, it's nonetheless a valid use case that we should not
disallow completely.
As for modes that are not descendants of outline-mode, the default
should IMO stay as it is now. Whether we want an option to make
sort-lines disregard invisible text in those other modes is something
I have no opinion about, and won't object if patches to that effect
are submitted.
