How do I alphabetically sort a manually numbred list?? eg...
I didn't generate my numbered list by inserting numbers. I added the numbers
'manually'. eg. 1. Georgia 2. Yesterdays 3. All of Me I want this list to read 3. All of Me 1. Georgia 2. Yesterdays Please tell me how to do this. I have 300 tunes in my repertoire and can be stuck for hours as the list changes frequently according to the next gig. |

You could temporarily make it into a table (come to think of it, you
could leave it in table format): assuming none of the song titles have a complete sentence inside them, Find ". " (without the quotes -- that's period space) and Replace With .^t (period caret tee) (that puts a tab after each number) Select all 300 paragraphs (they are each a separate paragraph, right?) and in the Tables menu (or portion of the ribbon), choose Convert Text to Table. Tell it 2 columns, with the separator being Tab. Now select the second column of the table (hover your cursor just above it until it turns into a fat down-pointing arrow, and click), and select Sort. (If you remove all the table cell borders, you won't even know it's a table. And if you make the first column right-aligned paragraphs, all the numbers will line up on the periods.)
