Sean,
I think this video should give you an idea of how to sort the list.
Don’t worry if you have other columns along with the name field, they will all
get sorted together if you select the whole table first.
Try it and see!

Sort the contents of a table
1. Click inside the table to show Table Tools in the ribbon, and then
click Layout > Sort.
<https://support.content.office.net/en-us/media/4f4c42dd-b458-4903-b660-f041444888e5.png>
You’ll see the Sort dialog box.
<https://support.content.office.net/en-us/media/9266b582-6e2b-4111-81c2-3f9014e2d11a.png>
2. In the dialog box, choose how you’d like to sort the table.
a. Under Sort by, choose the name of the column you want to sort the table
by.
b. Next to Type, choose if you’d like to sort according to Text, Number,
or a Date.
c. Click next to Ascending or Descending to choose a sort order. The
following table is sorted in ascending order.

3. When you are finished, click OK.
More options:
* If the column you’re sorting contains fields of information separated
by commas, tabs, or some other character, click next to Using to choose which
field to sort by. For example, if the column you’re sorting is Last name, First
name, you can choose to sort by Last name or First name. Click the Options
button at the bottom of the dialog box to choose the separating character.
* If you want to have a second level sort, you can enter that information
under Then by. The second level sort will only take effect if two or more
values in the first column are the same.
* You can also choose a third level sort, as shown in the following table.

* If your table has a header row, be sure to click the Header row box
under My list has at the bottom of the dialog box. That way, the top row will
not be sorted and will stay at the top.
* Click Options for additional settings, such as making your sort case
sensitive or choosing the sort language.
