Thats to make them uppercase. To alphabatize you do it manually.

Ok I'm lost. If you want a list read this:
http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=109305
If you want to alphabetize, you do it manually.

Google for alphabetizing generator or something like that. But I doubt its possible. Next time just start typing them that way.

IF there is one. I looked and couldn't find one. So I doubt there is one and I doubt its possible to do online. IF you find one then it might work. Otherwise you can't do it.

Without doing it manually.

You could put this between the style tags of you code:
CODE
p
{
text-transform: uppercase
}

and then put:
CODE
<p> text here </p>
around the font you want capitalised.

An easier solution maybe to copy the list into Word, highlight, then go to format - change case, and select uppercase, and then paste the list back.

Hope that helps.

Woops, sorry, I should learn to read. blink.gif

Can't think of a way, or found a way to do it by code. Maybe copying the list into Excel, and then sorting them? It should work if each item is on a new line.

Do you occasionally need to alphabetize a list of names? You could waste an entire hour on that single task, but Word can sort the list instantly:

Type a list of names, pressing the Enter key after each name. Your list should look something like:
Mary Koepke
Bill Coan
Paul Jones
Select the entire list.
On the Table menu, choose Sort.
Click Options, then click Other, then press the spacebar and click OK.
Choose "Sort by Word 2", then click OK.
Now your list looks like this:
Bill Coan
Paul Jones
Mary Koepke

Repeat Steps 1–5, but choose "Sort by Word 1" and your list will look like this:
Bill Coan
Mary Koepke
Paul Jones

Change the Way Word Works
