Binary sorting
I want to sort a column in a Word table with values such as A1, A2, A3... etc
up to A14 but the binary system puts A14 before A2. Is there any simple way to change this to use the traditional decimal system. |

Binary sorting
The easiest solution is probably going to use A01, A02, etc. (or add two
zeroes if the numbers include triple digits). -- Suzanne S.
