Not that I'm aware of. What you could do is put them in cells in excel and go data > sort. Then just copy and paste them back in.

I was thinking MS Excel, but if MS database/access will do it, then go ahead.

If you have MS office, you should have excel. Look in start > programs.

If you have Microsoft Word, then try this.

Copy and paste your Websites into a MS Word doc. Make sure the website addresses are line by line e.g.

http://www.pcmech.com
http://www.google.com
http://forum.pcmech.com

Then highlight all of the text. Go to the menu above where it says 'Tables'.

Scroll down to 'Sort'. You will get a dialog box asking you how you wish to sort the data i.e. ascending or descending. Make sure you have the correct data type chosen.

I can do this in Microsoft Office 2000. So the options may vary depedning on your version of Word. The 'Sort' function may be on your version.

HTH

Sorry, I should have explained a lot more clearer.

I didn't insert a table to sort out my links. All I did was highlight the text and then selected 'Sort' from the Tables. I did not use a table.

I know this menu is for use for tables but it was able to sort the data from A to Z without a table.

So don't insert a table. Just select 'Sort' from the table menu.

I have attached an image to demostrate what I have done.

Cheers,
Jova

From your screenshot, I realised you have a different version of Word. You have Microsoft Works version of Word.

I have Microsoft Office 2000. So both of our software may be different.

It's a possibility that the option 'Sort' may be in a different menu.

Have you tried looking up 'Sort' in the Help Menu of Microsoft Works?

Try going into Works help/search feature and type in sort, or download open office, http://www.openoffice.org, which I believe has a sort feature. It's similar to Microsoft's Office and free.
