You shouldn't have to select the table in order to sort. With the insertion
point anywhere in the table, choose Table | Sort and then select the column
to sort on (Column 2 unless it has a heading row).

I need to sort my tables alphabetically, but its not working.

I have a two columns table, and in the first column is a picture and the
second column is used to label the picture, for example "A-333."

I have several rows of this and I select all the cells and click table,
sort, but nothing happens.

How can I sort my table?
