Text does not need to be in a table to be sorted. Sort is on the Table menu,
but it works on paragraph text as well.

Create a single row table with as many columns as you need. When you
fill in
the first cell, tab to the next. When you tab out of the last cell the
next
row will automatically be created. When you are done entering data,
place
cursor in the column you wish to sort by and click TABLE|SORT. The next
window should be self-explanatory. Hope this helps.
