Word lets you sort text, numbers, or data in lists and tables. You can sort in ascending order (A to Z, zero to nine, or earliest to latest date) or in descending order (Z to A, 9 to zero, or latest to earliest date).
When you are sorting data in tables, you can sort data in a single column or in an entire table. To sort data in an entire table:
- Move the pointer over the table until the table move handle appears.
- Click the table move handle to select the table.
- Under Table Tools, on the Layout tab, within the Data group, click Sort.
- Select the options that you want from the Sort dialog box.
