Sorting a List A-Z

[Wordless]

How do I sort a list A-Z using 2 columns of info that have to go together?
The help section does not tell me how to alphabetize a list in a table with 2
columns. Help!

You can't. You'll have to convert the table to text, sort it, then convert
it back to a two-column table.

G'Day Wordless,

1. When you sort a Table, the elements in each row stay together, regardless
of the number of columns.

2. With the insertion point in the Table; Table>Sort.
The dialog box allows you to select up to 3 columns (in any order) on
which to do the sort.

3. Your question SEEMS to suggest a degree of confusion - experiment
with a Table in an empty Doc:
y 5 p sorted on col-1 becomes x 3 t
x 3 t y 5 p
z 4 o z 4 o

sorted on col-2 becomes x 3 t
z 4 o
y 5 p

sorted on col-3 becomes z 4 o
y 5 p
x 3 t
The rows stay intact.
