In Microsoft Word, to sort data from the table menu, the sort command is used to sort a file, organizing the records in a particular order. By default, the sort command sorts file, assuming the contents are ASCII. Using options in sort command, it can also be employed to sort numerically. The SORT command is a command-line function for sorting lines or text files.

It supports sorting in reverse order, by number, by month and can also eliminate duplicates. The sort command can also sort by objects at the start of the line, disregard case-sensitivity, and return whether a file is sorted or not.

Ascending order means to move or progress toward a higher level or degree. It means to sort from the smallest value to the largest value. Descending order is to coordinate things (numbers and quantities) from a larger value to a lower value.

In Microsoft Word, to sort data from ascending or descending order, use the Sort command from the Table menu. The first step of doing this is to click on the bar that has the Menu. Then, click insert. There will be a pop up with many objects that can be chosen from.

From those options, click the table. Then, choose the amount of rows that you wish to have on the table, as well as the amount of columns. From there, the data can be entered into the table. This data can be words and numbers. The data can be entered in any order, because in the end, you may sort it.

Data can be arranged in several ways according to what commands you give, and these have to be set up on your software first. You might want to arrange data that has a verbal name in alphabetical order. If the data is numeric you are likely to want to arrange it in either ascending or descending order. Either way, you would use the SORT command from the DATA menu.
