sorting text in table
Hi All,
I have the following issue: I have a table of lets say 3 rows and 3 columns. In the first column is the "Sport type" second column has one "Company name" and the third column has a list of names in it (one table cell). The names in the third column are usually written with firstname lastname and sometimes the middle initial between the firstname and lastname followed by a period. Soccer Soccergear Lucy Davids Lucas M. Rolland Louis-Walla McIntire Swimming SquidSwim Antoine Crevis Simone B. Lusche Lack T. Speed Faihly Quick How can I sort the names in each cell (for example: Lucy Davids, Lucas M. Rolland, Louis-Walla McIntire) by the last name? The number of names vary in each row. After much help from this community I found a way to do it in Excel, however, I actually need it done in Word. Is there a way? |

sorting text in table
Hi ?B?a2lraWxlaW4=?=,
This can't be done in Word without editing the third column; it's the possible middle initial that's the problem. Either the last name must precede the first name (Davids, Lucy) or you need to put the last names in a fourth column. I have a table of lets say 3 rows and 3 columns. In the first column is the "Sport type" second column has one "Company name" and the third column has a list of names in it (one table cell). The names in the third column are usually written with firstname lastname and sometimes the middle initial between the firstname and lastname followed by a period.
