HOW DID YOU DO IT.

I used the Firefox browser and the Emacs editor.

In Firefox, I selected the list of links, and did a right-click, which popped a menu with an option "View Selection Source". I chose that option, and that showed the list of links as html. I saved that html as a separate file via the "Save" option.

I then edited the file with Emacs; it has a function called "sort-columns" which let me easily do the sorting on the link text.

There were some anomalies due to leading special characters such as quote marks and parentheses, but they were few and easy enough to move to the correct area.
