Sort Table Columns In Word 2003
Word lets you sort data, such as text, numbers and dates, in a table column or cell. You can have Word sort the data for you automatically using instead of doing it manually. This can save you a lot of time, especially if you are working with a large amount of data.
To sort data in a table:
- Select the column or cells containing the data you want to sort.
- From the Table menu, click the Sort option.
- Select the sort options you want.
- If you are sorting data in a specific column, not the entire table, click the Options button.
- Select the Sort column only check box.
- Click OK.
- Click OK to close the Sort window.

I have a table in Word 2007, that I used in Word 2003 and the sorting does not work the same.
The table has four columns and 100 rows. I have always made column one a numeric column from 1-100 the other three are the columns I sort.
First column 3 than 2 than 4.
In Word 2003 the 3,2, 4 column sorting worked fine. In Word 2007 the sorting always changes column 1even though it is not selected.
I can’t get column 1 not to sort. I end up having to resort column 1 after sorting the other 3.
Is there a solution?
