SUMMARY

In Microsoft Graph, an OLE server application that ships with Microsoft Word for Windows version 2.0, you cannot sort data from within the Microsoft Graph datasheet. You must copy the information to another application to perform the sort, and then copy it back to the Microsoft Graph datasheet.
