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. You cannot sort on a column that contains merged cells.
To sort a table:
The Sort Table dialog box appears.
Tip: When a column contains numbers, select Numerically. An alphabetic sort applied to 1, 2, 3, 10, 20, 30 yields the sequence 1, 10, 2, 20, 3, 30.
Sort includes first row specifies that the first row of the table is included in the sort. If the table has a header row, the header is the first row of the table.
Sort header rows specifies to sort header rows using the same criteria as the body rows.
Sort footer rows specifies to sort table footer rows using the same criteria as the body rows.
Leave row colors in original positions specifies that table row colors should remain associated with the same content after the sort.
For example, do not select this option if your table has rows of alternating colors and you want to preserve the alternating pattern in the sorted table. If the color denotes a type of content, then select this option to ensure that color remains associated with the content after the sort.
Contribute reorders the table.
