Default Sorting Table of Contents

I have only just starting using Word 2007 and I am having trouble with my
Table of Contents
My document is finished and runs to 32 pages
My Headings are marked and I only use "Heading 1" and page number is right
aligned
In Word 2003 I could make it so that every time the TOC was updated it would
sort the Table Alphabetically by the Name in the the heading
This one just updates the table as it finds it - very hard to find anything
Is there any way to makle it automatically sort A-Z everytime it is updated

Default Sorting Table of Contents

Hi Nylex,

TOCs always sort by relative position in the document. Perhaps you were thinking of an index?

I don't see anything like that in 2003. Perhaps you used Index instead of
TOC for your TOC.
