lilac,
Manually ;-)
AFAIK, you will have to convert "The ABC" to "ABC, The" and things like "A
Nation" to "Nation, A" before sorting.
You do it with a macro. Selecti your list paragraphs and run this code:
Sub ScratchMaco()
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Dim oPar As Paragraph
Dim oRngProcess
Dim pStr As String
Set oRng = Selection.Range
For Each oPar In oRng.Paragraphs
Select Case oPar.Range.Words.First
Case "The ", "A "
pStr = ", " & Trim(oPar.Range.Words.First)
oPar.Range.Words.First.Delete
Set oRngProcess = oPar.Range
oRngProcess.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
oRngProcess.MoveEnd wdCharacter, -1
oRngProcess.InsertAfter pStr
End Select
Next
Selection.Sort
End Sub

be under A not T. How do I do this?
