Problem

Solutions: A customer wanted to sort a document containing a long list of filenames by the extension instead of the primary name. This can be done by doing a Search and Replace first. Search for the period (.) in each filename and replace it with a forward slash (/). The Sort (Ctrl-F9) can then be performed after selecting 1 (Field) and 2 (Word) in Key One, and 1 (Field) and 1 (Word) in Key Two. This works correctly since the slash (/) can be used as a word separator. Once the list is sorted, perform a Search and Replace, searching for the slash (/) and replacing it with a period (.).
