You could either put the Sort command on your QAT or convert the text back to a table, perhaps a single-cell table, so you could use the Sort command it the Ribbon. |
This is almost what I did with the data pasted above to try it. I pasted into Word and saw the line returns, Find/Replace ^l to ^p, then converted the text to a table, breaking contents on the paragraph.
When sorting, I found I didn't get results until I changed the Sort By from the first cell's text to Column 1 as found in the dropdown, as shown below. Then it sorted. You could, then, convert the table back to a text, or simply make the table gridlines invisible if that suited better (handy for updating.)
