Using the Sort Feature

Sorting tables is a feature designed for sequencing lists (e.g., experiment sites, number grades, bibliographies). You can sort a table by up to three columns, in either ascending or descending order. For example, you can sort a table of committee members initially by last name and then, within that sort, by first name. You can also sort numbers or dates. In addition, the Sort feature can be used for paragraph text outside of tables. This can be useful in creating bibliographies, glossaries, and other types of lists.
