Lesson 8 – Sorting Table Data

By default, sorting is not case-sensitive. Therefore, Word does not treat uppercase or lowercase letters differently when it executes a sort. You can, however, select the Case sensitive option in the Sort Options dialog box to perform a case-sensitive sort.

To sort an entire table, position the insertion point anywhere in the table; you do not have to select it. If, however, one or more rows are selected when you perform a sort, only the selected rows are sorted.
