In a text sort, 10 and 11 will sort before 2.
If Word doesn't sort the paragraphs using a Number type, you can use Text unless you have more than nine paragraphs. The problem is I now have words that have secondary words that must remain with the main word in the list. I figured out how to alphabetize a list, using Table, Sort (by paragraph). I'm working on a book index in Word for Mac 2011.
