On a WindowsXP machine, using 2.0, how can a list be

to a "Phone" or to a "address" book.
There are at least two ways to to do this.
1) Create a database for this information and sort the records by name.
(You might want to use seperate fields for first and last names so that
the sorting is done by the last name and then first name.)
2)Enter this information in a Calc spreadsheet. Select all the rows with
information in them. Click the A->Z icon to sort them alphabetically by
the entries of the first row.
I had the same question.
In MS Word I can go to Table|sort to sort a table.
Among the options are alphabetic and numeric sorting.
I had hoped for something similar in OO.o Writer,
without having to to use other OO.o components.
If I understand you correctly, I cannot do that in OO.o Writer (alone).
Would someone confirm that indeed this task requires another OO.o
component?
In any case I thank Dan for his response(s) to Joe's question which was
also my question.
