Can't sort table alphabetically

[Guest]

Hi! I have a document that has a 3 column table and about 10 rows. Each cell
has a name of different companies. I have had to add new companies to the
bottom of the table and I would like to have it alphabatized so they are in
the right order. When I got to "Sort" it won't sort correctly! I have tried
all the combinations of selecting Sort By Column 1, Column 2, etc and it will
put some in order but not others. It also will not sort between the columns,
it just changes the order of each individual column. As an example:
Before Sort:
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
A F B
G A D
B B A

After Sort with Sort By Column 1:
A F B
B B A
G A D

What I would like it to be:
A A A
B B B
D F G

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Tiffany,

You might convert the table to text (with para marks as delimiters), sort, and
then convert back into a table?
