[Solved] Sorting a multicolumn OOW table

[wdc]

Using OOWriter, I have a 2-column table showing names in Col. 1 and telephone numbers in Col. 2. I can use OOWriter to alphabetize column 1. But the sorting process destroys the name/number association.
..
Could someone please remind me of the simple step that retains the name/number correspondence in the sorting? Thanks. ….wdc

Did you select both columns, excluding headings?

No, I only selected column 1. What <should> I have selected? ....wdc

Select the column(s) that you want included in the sort.
