How do I alphabetically sort a numbered list when numbering is man
I didn't generate my numbered list by inserting numbers. I added the numbers
'manually'. eg. 1. Georgia 2. Yesterdays 3. All of Me I want this list to read 3. All of Me 1. Georgia 2. Yesterdays Please tell me how to do this. I have 300 tunes in my repertoire and can be stuck for hours as the list changes frequently according to the next gig.

You might try sorting on Word 2 (if Word will consider the number Word 1).

How do I alphabetically sort a numbered list when numbering is
I don't even get a choice of selecting Word 1. Just Paragraph or Filed 1
I'm at TABLE|SORT. Is this the right place? /g =============== "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You might try sorting on Word 2 (if Word will consider the number Word 1). -- Suzanne S.

I thought I had answered. I don't have the choice of Word 1 let alone Word 2.

In the Sort dialog, click Options, select Other, and type a space (assuming
there's a space after your numbers; if there's a tab, try selecting Tab). You should then get Word 1, Word 2, etc., as options. -- Suzanne S.

I have the choice of a sort by Paragraph or by Field1 It sounds as though you have included your "numbered list" as a sequence of manually entered lines in one cell of a table. If so, then your sorting options are pretty limited. If I had to do this, I'd insert a two-column table in that cell, put the numbers in column one, the text in column two, then all you have to do is sort by column 2. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk
