Robert: I think you really want to use an index -- that's what an index is by definition. There's probably nothing to prevent you from putting an index at the front of the document except, perhaps, expectations. You could also save the TOC field as autotext for later use, then unlink the compiled TOC (Ctrl+Shift+F9) and sort the resulting "dead" paragraphs. When you needed a new TOC, you'd insert the autotext field, unlink and then sort it again.
