Sort topics

This command lets you quickly sort a set of selected topics and their sub-topics. If you select the central topic, you sort the whole map.

1. Select the topic(s), or select the central topic to sort the whole map.

2. On the Format tab, in the Layout group, click the Sort arrow, then click  Sort Options and choose the options to use.

3.  If you do not see the Sort command,  you need to enable the Sort Topics add-in.

3. Click OK to sort the map with the current settings.

4. Click Sort in the Layout tab's Format group to sort the map using the default options: Alphanumeric sort, subtopics only sort depth, forward sort direction.

The map topics are sorted and reorganized. In Map View main topics begin at the upper-right and continue clockwise, and subtopics are sorted top to bottom.
