Sorting a list with tabs
I am working on an index for a book. To do so, in Word 7, I have created a
list with primary terms. Following each primary term, are indented sub-entries. For example: Race Ideas about And imperial prestige empire expansion of law and tensions of Spains How can I use the sort button to correctly alphabetize the main entries (in my example, empire would come before race) while also alphabetizing the sub-entries under each main entry? When I press sort, the indented sub-entries get shifted around. -- profk |

If you simply use Word's Index feature, all that is taken care of for
you. On Apr 22, 12:20*pm, profk wrote: I am working on an index for a book. To do so, in Word 7, I have created a list with primary terms. Following each primary term, are indented sub-entries.

Subentries are sorted alphabetically. If you are using Word's Index feature,
you'll have to live with that. -- Suzanne S.

I am not using Word to create the index as my manuscript is in XML. I am
simply using Word to create the list of terms. -- profk "grammatim" wrote: If you simply use Word's Index feature, all that is taken care of for you.

I am not using Word to create the index.
So, can you help with alphabetizing a list without reorganizing sub-entries? Thanks. -- profk "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Subentries are sorted alphabetically.

You could first make your list of main entries and sort it; then
insert your subentries under each entry and sort them. On Apr 22, 1:21*pm, profk wrote: I am not using Word to create the index.

If you use outline levels to create your index, you can then sort it in
Outline view (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UsingOLView.htm). -- Suzanne S.

I got to wondering whether you can sort in Outline View, but I don't
have any suitable documents on hand to check with. On Apr 22, 4:26*pm, "Suzanne S.
