In Word, how do I readily sort a string of numbers separated by commas?
My string of numbers is 32, 29, 10, 30, 40, 39, 48, 12, 42, 41, 38, 18. How can I sort this from smallest to largest most readily?
I clicked OK as pictured below, but nothing happened. Then I picked Headings, whilst keeping all the other settings, but again nothing happened. Then I picked Field 1, while keeping all the other settings, but again nothing happened. Why?
I am not asking about unproductive methods like brute force. 'Sort Text' worked when I hit "Enter", and started each number on a new line. But this gruntwork is impractical, if the string contains many numbers.
