Sorting Lists Alphabetically

earlboykins · 02-18-2005, 01:27 AM

Hello,

Is there a feature in Office XP which sorts lists I make alphabetically?
ie:
Apples
Bananas
Cherries
Dates

If not, does any other software have it?

Thanks!

Sorting is easily done in both Word and Excel. In Word the list of words you want to sort is placed in a column, this can be in a table or just on the sheet. In Excel, place them in a single column on the spreadsheet. Then just use the "Sort" function from the tool bar. (If you do it from within a table or in Excel, you'll have more flexibility to choose the order and parameters then if it's just a list of words in Word.)

Word: highlight the list of words >Table>Sort

Excel: highlight the column > Data>Sort
