To change alphabetical order
When I use Sort function in Word, I would like to change order in which it
sorts. Instead of sorting in alphabetical order (a, b, c, d,...) I would like it to sort in some other order (e.g. a, b, d, c,...). I need to do this for characters I created with equation field, so they are sorted correctly. Bogdan Dumka |

To change alphabetical order
Sorry, you're out of luck with this request. There's no provision for any
other sort order in Word. (Technically, if you write your own sort function in a macro, you can set any order you like, but that's definitely not a job you'd wnat to try unless you're a good programmer.) Probably the best you can do is to sort in alphabetical order, and then manually move the entries that need to be in a different order. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

To change alphabetical order
May be more trouble than it's worth, but if the items are in a list you
could assign a number or letter on each line using a comma or tab to separate from the corresponding item. Then select the whole list, TableSort as usual and delete the "sort keys" (or format them as Hidden charracters) when done. Even creating a custom sort order in Excel would be problematic for what you want, though. It would probably be quicker to just drag 'n' drop. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Bogdan Dumka" wrote in message ...
