1. Select the list or table with the information you want to sort.
2. Go to the "Table" menu and click "Sort" in Word 2003. If you are using Word 2007 or 2010, go to the "Home" tab and click the "Sort" button in the "Paragraph" group. The "Sort Text" dialog box will open.
3. Select an option in the "Sort By" box and then choose an option in the "Type" box.
4. Choose "Ascending" or "Descending." Select a second and third sort order, if desired. Click "Header Row" if your list or table has headers so that these items will not be included in the sorting.
5. Click "OK" to sort the information.
