Is there a way to highlight a list of items within a Pages document and sort to alphabetical order? Items are not in a table--just listed. I know how to do it in Word. Can't seem to do it in Pages. Thanks

Thank you so much! Between your instructions and the following instructions when I tried to open the WordService app I accomplished my goal:



I had no idea there was a service menu, a WordService app and how to set it up at keyboard preferences, or how to use it. A wonderful new tool to have learned! It really was Q and A! Wonderful and helpful information to have been discovered!!!

I've not seen a built-in method of doing this in Pages, but it'spossible one has been added recently.


Meanwhile, you can Obtain and install Devon WordService, a set of Service menu items available through the App Store,

and make iit a Q&E task.


Select the items in the list. that's it hiding behind the menu window)

Go to the Pages menu

Choose Services, then

Sort Lines Ascending


Release the mouse button to close the menu an see the sorted list.
