Dear Joseph,

Good day! Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. We are here to assist you.

I did test in my lab and could not find “Sort” function in Word Web App. However, in the desktop word application, I am able to find that “Sort” option.

Upon more investigation, I found that more sophisticated table features--such as table styles, cell size, text direction, and sort order--are preserved in the document, but cannot be configured in Word Web App. For Differences between using a document in the browser and in Word you can check here. As these options aren't available in the web version, you might need to open the document in the desktop version of Word to access the full sorting functionality.

I can understand the situation of not having such feature in the web version, I am sharing the most efficient way to share your feedback with our developers through any Microsoft 365 application. From your app, go to Help > Feedback. They review customer feedback on a daily basis. To enhance the effectiveness of your feedback on, we kindly ask that you include a screenshot when relevant. Additionally, if possible, please enable the option to allow us to reach out to you and provide your email address. Thank you.

Have a great day and take care! 😊
