Default Sort a table by graphics

Failing Jay's suggestion, there might be some distinguishing feature of the
graphics that could be used: right-click one of the graphics, select
properties, and check the height and width: see if this is the same for all
of them. Also, if you hold the cursor over one, do you get a screentip? If
there is a distinguishing property, it would be simple to write a macro and
replace each macro with some text on which you could sort.

Hi! We have a very large table in Word that we receive from our bank.
The
1st column is graphics representing the type of transaction for each
record
of the data dump.

Rather than spend all the time it would take to replace these graphics
with
text - is there a way to sort on those graphics? It would be 5 images at
most representing a couple hundred records.

I guess what I'm asking - is there any way to sort on the object instead
of
the usual text/number/date?

We'd really be grateful if we could save a few hours work each month.

Thanks!
