SUMMARY

The Sort command in Microsoft Word for Windows uses only the first 65 characters of the sort key text to determine the sort order.

The sort key text is the text in a sort record that follows a specified number of key separators. For example, if a three-column table is sorted by the second column, column two is the sort key, and only the first 65 characters of the text in each record in column two are used to sort the table.
