I am not clear on why you referred to Headers.
I expect a Table of Contents is always created with respect to the order in 
which items appear in the document so there is no way to try to rearrange the 
list of contents out of order.  Maybe what you want to create is an Index which 
is sorted alphabetically rather than by order of appearance.

Hello everyone.  I am working on a document that uses Headers and the 
information is not being entered in alphabetical order. Therefore, 
when I create a table of contents, it looks like this:
Anderson, James.....2
Davidson, Denise....3
Brown, Mark.........4
George, Kathy.......5
Epplworth, Dave.....6
Applebee, Laura.....7

This would force me to scan the enter list to look for Dave 
Epplworth. I tried to sort the table of contents, but Word says it 
cannot be sorted. (I am using Word 2000.)

I would much prefer the table of contents look like this instead:
Anderson, James.....2
Applebee, Laura.....7
Brown, Mark.........4
Davidson, Denise....3
Epplworth, Dave.....6
George, Kathy.......5

Sure, the pages are out of order, but that is ok. I'd much rather 
have the names in order. Can I do this?

Thank you.

Robert
