Alphabetize rows in table by leading letter

[wdc]

I need to alphabetize the rows in an OOWRITE table by leading letter in column 1, all the while retaining the position of the text in all the other columns. That is the material in row 12, columns 2,3,4,5 etc stays associated with 12,1 in the rearrangement.

How do I do such reordering? I seem to recall posing this query and having it answered answered here some 5 years ago but I coulld not find that answer here now using the search function. I wonder why.

Many thanks. ..... wdc
