Microsoft Word has the "sort by" option, which users can click to sort documents.The default sort order for Microsoft Word is alphabetical. As this is not the most organized way to organize content, it can be easy to get lost in the mess of hundreds of files.To reduce chaos, you have to choose which sorting method you want to use. There are two ways to do this: 1.) Sort based on file name or 2.) Sort based on file name and extension. If you decide that sorting based on file name is the best choice for you, then just let Microsoft Word know that your document should be ordered alphabetically using the default sort order before saving it as a new document.
