Reverse sorting in Microsoft Word 2003
Word sorts paragraphs. That means each "unit" of text that you want to keep
together must be one paragraph. Currently each of your lines is a separate paragraph. Press the ¶ button on the toolbar to see the paragraph mark (the same ¶ symbol) at the end of each line. Replace the paragraph mark at the end of each title and subtitle with a manual line break (Shift+Enter), leaving a paragraph mark only at the end of each date. Also, delete the empty paragraph mark below each date (you can get the same appearance by setting the Space After for each text paragraph to 12 pt). Then sort. -- 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.

Reverse sorting in Microsoft Word 2003
I tried this and was surprised to find that it didn't work for me. The only
way I could make it work was to convert the text to a table and sort the date column. If the table is rearranged to put Column 3 first, then converted back to text, so that the date is the first thing in the paragraph, it works fine. But I was still surprised that Word couldn't find the dates in the paragraphs and sort on them, as I thought I recalled having had success with this before. -- Suzanne S.
