Default Order fields in Recipient List (connects to Access Table)

Does anyone know how I can permanently order the fields in a Recipient List.
I need the 2nd field to be my company names in order to easily select the
recipients. The field I need keeps coming in from the Access Customer Table
at the end of the list. I can't change the field order in Access because
it's linked to other tables and it won't allow changes to the field order.

Is there a way to make the order change permanent in Word? Or, do I have to
make the order change some how in Access?

Use a query in Access to arrange the fields in the order that you want them.
