This function already exists. Click the mail merge recipients button on the
mail merge toolbar and click the column head of the column you want to sort
by. Then re-merge.

When setting up a mail merge document I would like to click on an
icon on the toolbar to enable me to sort the data according to the
field that I choose. I may need to change my choice i.e. from name to
postcode order. At present I have to go through the whole mailmerge
process to achieve this.
