I would love to alphabetize my ping lists. Is there any way to do it other than "by hand"? I am a techno dunce. Any helpful hints appreciated; I've searched my computer for a way to alphabetize without success.

if you have each item separated by commas, then you can export it into a spreadsheet, sort it there, and export it back as a comma delineated file, I think. At least that's what I'd try first.

Not that I know of unless you can sort the names out in a word program. I just made a second copy and used that to sort. I started with the first two names and went down the list.
