Although sorting lists in Word seems like an obvious, simple task, many people are not familiar with how to do it. You can sort your text, number, or date lists in Word and here is how you can do it.
Once you have your list created, highlight the entire thing. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the Sort option. The Sort Text window will appear. Under the Sort By field, make sure that Paragraphs and Text is selected. Select the button beside either the Ascending or Descending options and click OK. Your list will now be sorted based on the sort options you selected.

Make sure you format the text only and then alphabetizing it should work
