Go to Insert | Indexes and Tables > | Indexes and Tables... | 
Index/Table | Type and title, and remove the tick from "Protected 
against manual changes".  Now you will be able to select the index 
entries and use Tools | Sort... to sort them.  You'll have to repeat 
the sorting each time you update the index, of course.

Is that what you are supposed to do?

I trust this helps.
