Subject:Re: sorting negative numbers in a list From:Barbara Karst-Sabin <barbara -at- QUOTE -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 8 Sep 1998 10:28:37 -0700
Hope I'm not too late with this response. I put the numbered items in a
word tables (separated only by a carriage return), one with the negative
numbers and one with the positive. I sort the negative numbered list in
descending order and the positive in ascending. Then I remove the
carriage return and it becomes a single table. If you don't want it in
a table, or to appear to be in a table, just don't use any borders.
