I am using Word 2003 and am wondering if its possible to create a TOC that
sorts alphabetically instead of by page numbers, or created a Table of
Authorities based on a style?

Specifically I am trying to create a business rules catalogue, and after
much discussion we have decided to number each business rule manually. An
example of the doc would be:

1 Applications (h1)
1.1 Application Validation (h2)
1. Business Rule 1
2. Business Rule 2
5. Business Rule 5

1.2 Contract Reference Dates (h2)
3. Business Rule 3
4. Business Rule 4
6. Business Rule 6

Business Rules Index (i.e. TOC)
1. ...on page 2
2. ...on page 2
3. ...on page 3
4. ...on page 3
5. ...on page 2
6. ...on page 3

The reason we are not using automatic numbering for each business rule is
because new business rules will be added to sections over time and we can't
allow older business rules to automatically renumber because they would have
already been referenced in other documents. We also need to display the
rules in order, so users know which was the last number used, since it will
likely not be the last business rule in the document.

It appears that Table of Authorities sort alphabetically, but I'm not
relishing having to mark each entry.

Thank you for your help!
