Default Word cannot sort fields in the selection. Why?

I have a list consisting of two columns simply separated by tabs ofthe type

katt [tab] cat [return]
hest [tab] horse [return]
etc.

Word will sort parts of the list, but not the whole list. I simply get the
error message 'Word cannot sort fields in the selection'. No reason is given.
Can anybody help?
The list is a couple of thousand lines long and has some web references, but
I've tested them, and they sort. Can it be the length that is the obstacle?
