Sorting in Writer

Well, I've done this for any number of lists; sorted in various ways
...
          once it's done, it's much easier to locate what you have & much
easier to maintain the list.

       The manual method is somewhat quicker if you use (1) the 'find' to
sort;
          (2) maybe doing a section at a time.

       There are numerous programs that supposedly will do this for you;
           how they operate or how they would know where to place what, I
haven't the foggiest ...
          some can be located through Gizmo's
