How do I sort by last name if my list is first name, first? For example:
John Jones
John Smith
Bobby Apple

I'm dating myself, but in the old days, WordPerfect allowed you to sort by
minus 1...:)

If the list is *not* in a table, click on Options in the Sort dialog and
choose Other for "Separate fields at" and type in a space. Then, if you hold
your breath, and hold your mouth just right, Word will let you select by
"Word 2." Note that if any name has a middle name or initial, you'll need to
join it to the first name with a nonbreaking space (Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar).
