Here is the full text explaining how to sort headings alphabetically in MS
Word:
************ START WEB SNIPPET ****************************
A useful trick you can use when developing some types of documents is the
ability to sort the various parts of the document based on the headings you
use. For instance, you can sort the document based on first-level headings
(paragraphs that use the Heading 1 style) by following these steps:
1. Switch to Outline view. (Either click the Outline view button on the status
bar or go to the View tab of the Ribbon and select Outline in the Views group.)
2. Using the controls on the Outlining tab of the ribbon, collapse the headings
so that only the first-level headings are shown. (This step is not strictly
necessary, but does make the screen a bit more readable.)
3. Place the cursor at the beginning of the first heading and press
Ctrl+Shift+End to select everything through the end of the document.
4. Display the Home tab of the ribbon.
5. Click the Sort tool in the Paragraph group. Word displays the Sort Text
dialog box. (See Figure 1.). Note: for versions earlier than Word 2003, the
Sort tool is in the table menu.
6. Click on OK to accept the default settings in the dialog box.
Had you skipped the first two steps and performed the sort in any view besides
Outline view, every paragraph would have been sorted alphabetically and
therefore rearranged so that subordinate paragraphs would be separated from
their headings. In other words, you would have a mess. However, in Outline
view, the highest-level headings are sorted, bringing along the subordinate
heading levels and body text.
If you wanted to sort by Heading 2 paragraphs, you should also use Outline
view, but you would have to first select all the Heading 2 paragraphs
subordinate to a particular Heading 1 paragraph and then sort. You will get the
same results regardless of how many heading levels that you show on the Outline
toolbar.
**********END WEB SNIPPET ************************
So in short, to sort headings in word, you switch to the outline view, then
hide all levels in the hierarchy you do NOT want to have sorted, select all the
entries and then use the sort tool.
