Hello Forum,

Is there any way to select the table rows and directly sort them in alphabetic order?

If possible...

Thanks. & regards,

Gise

    How complicated they are?

     

    If you have Table/Cell styles defined and applied - and there are no CharStyles / local overrides in cells - you should be able to select rows you want to sort, copy to Excel, sort, copy and paste back.
