Table.SortDescending Method (Word)
Sorts table rows in descending alphanumeric order.
Syntax
expression .SortDescending
expression Required. A variable that represents a Table object.
Remarks
The first table row is considered a header record and isn't included in the sort. Use the Sort method to include the header record in a sort.
This method offers a simplified form of sorting intended for mail-merge data sources that contain columns of data. For most sorting tasks, use the Sort method.
Example
This example creates a 5x5 table in a new document, inserts text into each cell, and then sorts the table in descending alphanumeric order.
Set newDoc = Documents.Add
Set myTable = _
newDoc.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=5, _
NumColumns:=5)
For iRow = 1 To myTable.Rows.Count
For iCol = 1 To myTable.Columns.Count
Set MyRange = myTable.Rows(iRow).Cells(iCol).Range
MyRange.InsertAfter "Cell" & Str$(iRow) & "," & Str$(iCol)
Next iCol
Next iRow
MsgBox "Click OK to sort in descending order."
myTable.SortDescending
This example sorts the table that contains the insertion point in descending alphanumeric order.
If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) = True Then
Selection.Tables(1).SortDescending
Else
MsgBox "The insertion point is not in a table."
End If
