Default Word Sorting

If they're in the form

Roe, Richard
Doe, John

(each name its own paragraph) then all you do is select the whole list
and choose Table Sort (they don't have to be in a table).

If they're in the form

Richard Roe
John Doe

then you need to Convert to Table where the second column contains the
name you want to alphabetize on (simple if every name has just a first
name and a last name!), sort on that column, and Convert back to Text.

name, however I can't figure out how I did it. I am using Word 2003.
