Default Sorting: Sort Categories, and Then the Items in Each Category?

Hello, everyone, I have Office 365 and am using the current version of Word.

I have a question about sorting. I know how to sort the items IN each category below, but I’m not sure how to sort the list by category and then the items.

For example, this shopping list should display Aldi first, then Shop Rite, then Target.

Is it possible to sort the list alphabetically by the underlined headings, then the each section’s list? Thank you.

Target:
Beard Trimmer
Soap

Aldi:
Applesauce
Pepperoni
Potato Salad
Ricotta Cheese
Wonton Soup


Yogurt

Shop Rite:
Febreze with Gain
Nathan’s French Fries

If your document is structured into a table with shop/product in separate columns you can do the search in one step.

If your document is structured as you showed then you need to sort the products for each shop individually and then make sure the shops are formatted with a built-in heading style (or more correctly, with an outline level), change to Outline View, show that level of outline and select and sort the headings.
