ABSTRACT:
Provided are a computer implemented method and apparatus for manipulating data through directional or ordered selection of data. A first user input is received for selecting a section of data in a direction of selection, or an order of selection, from a source. A second user input is received for performing a basic editing operation on the selection. Responsive to the second input received from the user, the selected section of data is re-oriented or re-ordered in a direction or order corresponding to the direction or order of selection. A third user input is received for performing a basic editing operation at a destination. The re-oriented or re-ordered section of data is subjected to the second action at the destination. Once the user has selected a section of data, the user can also choose to re-orient or re-order the data in conjunction with a basic editing operation by selecting an enhanced editing operation that implements the inventive method from a menu.
