DEAR Y'ALL,
Greetings.
Can one sort text? I Journal and want to sort by date
(in this
format: 2007 0819 0127 SUN) or category. In the Help section
the only thing I can fine regarding sorting is about tables
and the only button in Formulas.
Are things similar to Corel Wordperfect's QuickCorrect
and
QuickWords possible?
Thanks.
WITH ENTHUSIASM,

You can sort tables within writer. Simply highlight the cells
that you want
sorted, then select tools > sort. Select the columns that you
want to sort
on - then off you go.

In writer the text doesn't have to be in a table. You can sort
any text by selecting it first. e.g
2007 0819 0128 SUN
2007 0819 0127 SUN
2007 0818 0127 SUN
can be sorted by selecting it, and then using Tools - Sort to
identify the fields to sort.
It sounded as if the OP (I don't think t r a c y was subscribed, but I
don't have her e-mail handy) has a more complex kind of data than really
works well with simple lists. Her journal probably belongs in a table
(Table | Convert | Text to Table might work, if the data is well-behaved
enough to sort properly anyway). Then she'd need to select the whole
table (not just the columns she's sorting by), or a range of rows, and
use Table | Sort, which is near Table | Formulas but has nothing to do
with them.
