Re: [libreoffice-users] 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

       Hoping this helps,

I received a document which, essentially is a document of song lyrics.
However, they were typed in at random, as they were received. I now want to
sort the songs by song title and can't figure a way to do this. The format
is the following:
 The song title, the artist, the lyrics. Each line is essentially a new
paragraph so I cannot sort by paragraph. I need some way of marking the
beginning and the ending of each song, having the contents between these
two marks recognised as a unit, and then sorting these units. Does anyone
have any ideas, without having to select each song, cutting it and then
pasting it in its correct position alphabetically
