How can I sort a numbered list by text following the numbers?
I periodically get a Word list consisting of rows containing a 4 digit number
(in order) followed by a space, then in column 5 name of person(s), followed by space hyphen space, then text (usually ends at last column of single line) i.e.: nnnn name of person1/person2 - xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx. I would like to sort by, or create table or spreadsheet to sort by, person name and text. |

How can I sort a numbered list by text following the numbers?
If this is a table, you can sort by any column (up to three columns, in
fact). If it's plain text, you can sort by Word 2 or Word 3 or whatever. -- Suzanne S.
