    Depending on how many columns you have this is actually a very easy task.
    I'll do a quick example you can try then you can elaborate on it for your
    own.
    Type "Adam" - press return - Highlighted cell moves down a row
    Type" Eve" - press return again and highlighted cell moves down again
    Type " Alan"
    Use your mouse to click on any of the typed cells making sure the cursor is
    flashing and the whole word is not highlighted. There are two buttons on the
    second row of buttons at the top of the page, one with an A ontop of a Z with
    and arrow pointing down and one with a Z on top of an A and an arrow pointing
    down. The A on top will sort alphabetically with Adam then Alan then Eve and
    the one with Z at the top will do the reverse. Play with this till you get
    the hang.If you have more than one column just select one cell (cursor
    flashing only) in the column you want to sort and it will sort the whole
    table correctly. Hope this helps and isn't too confusing?
