Hi all
I have a list of random names and addresses which I need to print in
alphabetical order. Is there a way of doing this without the long process of
retyping.
Thanks for any helpful advice.

If the list is comma delimited you could import into a spreadsheet like
Microsoft Excel, the spreadsheet module of Microsoft Works or OpenOffice
Calc and use the spreadsheet's flat file database capabilities.

Under DOS there was a sort filter that you could redirect console output
through. the result of the sort could be printed, displayed or saved to
a text file. The desired sort field would need to be the first
characters in each line. I'm not sure if the filter is included with the
Windows XP command line.
