Sort tabular data

You can sort the rows of a table based on the contents of a single column. For example, if you have a Names column in a table, you can sort items in that column alphabetically.

You can also perform a more complicated table sort based on the contents of two columns.

Note: You cannot sort on a column that contains merged cells.

  1. In your draft, select the table to sort or place the insertion point in any cell in the table.

  2. Select Table > Sort Table.

    The Sort Table dialog box appears.


  3. Complete the dialog box.

    For more information, see Completing the Sort Table dialog box.

  4. Click OK.

    Contribute reorders the table.
