Then there's no easy way to do this, Bill. I'd seriously think about
setting this up properly in Excel or Access (or even in Outlook, with a
custom category) - having your label template and your data in one
document strikes me as both risky and - as you're finding - restrictive.
Tables-sort is for situations where you have tabulated data and usually
moves whole rows up and down when it sorts based on the contents of one
column.
