I have a table in MS Word and the first column has a format similar to Headers,
For example:
5.4
5.3.2
6.1
6.18
6.2
6.20
6.2.1
6.3
etc.

I am trying to sort them like a header, where 6.2, 6.2.1 comes before 6.18
etc.
Any suggestions on how to get it working?

have an idea on how to get the sorting to work correctly through a
macro. But, I am not very good at VB using word. I have been trying
for a while to get it working, so, here are the steps:

1) Place the table in a Microsoft Excel worksheet
2) Replace the decimals that are in Column A with A's
3) In the first empty column type the formula =Hex2Dec(A#)...this
converts all of the first column stuff to hex
4) In the next empty column, have a thing where it looks at the first
number in the Column A, and then do a if it is 1, then "A", 2 would be
a "B"...
5) Then the sort would be by step 4 then by step 3 column...
6) Then place it back into word...

Any help with the macro, would be great...
