 From the WORD Help file it appears that sort is possible.  I tried it 
and it works. Sort is found in the Table pull down.

Cy

*Note*   Microsoft Word stores the sort order, along with any 
record-selection criteria, in the main document. The next time you open 
the main document, Word will retrieve and sort the data records 
<javascript:HelpPopup('wdtip9.hlp','wodefdatarecord');> according to the 
query options you specified. (Note that if the data source is from 
another program, Word sorts only the selected data records; if the data 
source is in Word format, Word sorts /all/ the data records.) If you 
want to change the sort order, repeat the procedure above. If you want 
to permanently keep the data records in the specified order, save the 
data source before you quit Word.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
