In Word 2000 you would select the text you want sorted, then click Table
Sort, and choose to sort by paragraph. It is in my view absurd to sort
something that isn't in a table by clicking the Table menu, but there it is.
I don't know if they improved on the reasoning in Word 2003.

IWhen I look in Help within MS Word (2003) it says How to sort a list or
table, and then it only tells how to sort in a table. This is just one
long
list of names and I want to alphabetize the list. I don't want them in a
table. If I try to put them in a table and sort from there I get a long
black vertical line and the names disappear. Can anyone help? TIA.
