Select the list, and click Table Sort. The defaults in the dialog should be
correct, so just click OK.

I assume that by "typed list" you mean that you typed it manually. If instead
you used the Insert Table of Contents feature to make the list, it's all a
single field, and if you update the sorted field then it will return to the
original order. To prevent that, before sorting you would click anywhere in the
list and press Ctrl+Shift+F9 to change the field into plain text. After that it
will never update.
