You need to sort your mail merge data source before merging the labels. If
you have only the labels, see

I have a lot of names and addresses on microsoft word. I add to these names
every year. I use the Avery mailing labels. How do I get these names and
addresses in alphabetical order so as not to send more than one mail out
to
the same person? Thank you in advance, pk
