Examples

The following code example adds a list of fruits to a Bookmark control and then sorts the list in ascending order.

This example is for a document-level customization.

private void BookmarkSortAscending()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[1].Range,
        "bookmark1");
    bookmark1.Text = "Fruit" + "\n" + "Oranges" + "\n" +
        "Bananas" + "\n" + "Apples" + "\n" + "Pears";
    bookmark1.SortAscending();
}
Private Sub BookmarkSortAscending()

    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()

    Dim Bookmark1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Me.Paragraphs(1).Range, "Bookmark1")
    Bookmark1.Text = "Fruit" & vbLf & "Oranges" & vbLf & "Bananas" _
        & vbLf & "Apples" & vbLf & "Pears"
    Bookmark1.SortAscending()

End Sub

Remarks

The first paragraph or table row is considered a header record and is not 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.

This method displays a Header Record Delimiters dialog box where users must select a field delimiter.
