Description:
You can not seem to alphabetize a list you create in writer when you make a list. Maybe I missed it. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a single line list in none alphabetical order
2.try to alphabetize after the list is created
3.look for a sort order from A to Z in writer

Actual Results:
Just create a non alphabetical single line list in writer like a grocery list and then try to sort in alphabetical order. 

Expected Results:
Unable to sort. No function button or command to sort in alphabetical order in writer. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Sort in alphabetical order for Writer(docs). Function button or command to sort from A to Z like in Calc Spreadsheet

Workaround:

- Select the list 
- "Table -> Convert -> Text to Table"
- Select all table rows
- "Table -> Sort"
- Select all table rows
- "Table -> Convert -> Table to Text"

Correcting myself:

The workaround is not required. Use "Tools -> Sort"
