    Turning off alphabetical listing


    I have written a book using Microsoft Word. I have a total of 26 stories in a folder. Word automatically lists the stories in alphabetical order, but my publisher wants the listing in the order dictated for the book. I cannot do a thing to make Word just allow me to list the stories in the order I want them to be in! How can I turn off this automatic alphabetical listing feature? I do not want the stories to be in alphabetical order!!!!

    :)

    App or Program That can Alphabetize a list

    In addition to David Y's suggestion, you can also use OpenOffice Writer to sort a list alphabetically or numerically and its free!

    Just place your text in a table and select sort from the Table menu:

    App or Program That can Alphabetize a list

    Hi, all. I'm looking for a program, similar to wordpad, that can put all the items listed in alphabetical order. I already have Open office installed, but there's no option that I can find in that program that has the capability I'm looking for. I've looked around on the Net, but so far haven't come up with anything. I prefer a free program because it would only be used on rare occasions. Someone on another forum suggested Alphabetizer, which I tried, but found unsatisfactory .Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Turning off alphabetical listing

    Is there a way to turn off the alphabet in my start menu?


    Hey,
    So I generally like the W10 start menu with the exception of the alphabet soup in my all apps listings. It's making it look very cluttered and actually disorganized even though everything is obviously listed alphabetically.

    Is there a way to turn off the alphabet letters and just list everything that I have in there alphabetically without needing to show me
    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    etc...

    ??

    Thanks
