I seriously doubt anyone is using Word to perform anything more than rudimentary statistical analyses (e.g. calculating averages).

As for what statistical software outputs to Word, you'd have to look at each product's specifications. And, depending on what the user you refer to is doing, automation could be used to transfer statistical summaries/charts that get output to Excel, for example, from there to Word.

And, yes, Word can sort table data.
