Default How to alphabetize my created list?

I an not very computer literate so I will need step by step instructions on
how to create a list, then alphabetize it. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Depending on how many columns you have this is actually a very easy task.
I'll do a quick example you can try then you can elaborate on it for your
own.
Type "Adam" - press return - Highlighted cell moves down a row
Type" Eve" - press return again and highlighted cell moves down again
Type " Alan"
Use your mouse to click on any of the typed cells making sure the cursor is
flashing and the whole word is not highlighted. There are two buttons on the
second row of buttons at the top of the page, one with an A ontop of a Z with
and arrow pointing down and one with a Z on top of an A and an arrow pointing
down. The A on top will sort alphabetically with Adam then Alan then Eve and
the one with Z at the top will do the reverse. Play with this till you get
the hang.If you have more than one column just select one cell (cursor
flashing only) in the column you want to sort and it will sort the whole
table correctly. Hope this helps and isn't too confusing?
