Babbo,
If you have typed your list with names with paragraphs by this I mean you
have pressed enter after each name. Select your list, go to Table (yes
table), choose sort - next to sort by choose paragraphs next to type choose
text and hit OK.
Also have a look here when you have problems with first and last names : http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/SplitFirstNameLastName.htm
